the following questions are either true or false answers
1. The Central Limit Theorem allows one to use the Normal
Distribution for both normally and non-normally distributed
populations.
2. A random sample of 25 observations yields a mean of 106 and
a standard deviation of 12. Find the probability that the sample
mean exceeds 110. The probability of exceeding 110 is 0.9525.
3. Suppose the average time spent driving for drivers age
20-to-24 is 25 minutes and you randomly select 50 drivers. What is
the probability that the mean time they spend driving each day is
between 24.7 and 25.5 minutes, assuming that the standard deviation
is 1.5 minutes?
P(24.7<X<25.5) =0.9116
4. An electrical firm manufactures a certain type of light
bulb that has a mean life of 1,800 hours and a standard
deviation of 200 hours. Find the probability that a random
sample of 100 bulbs will have an average life of more than 1,825
hours.
P(X>1,825) =0.1056
5. A manufacturing company receives a shipment of ball
bearings each month from a supplier. The inspector applies the
following rule in deciding whether or not to accept or reject each
shipment: If the mean diameter of the sample is between 0.245 and
0.255 the shipment is accepted otherwise the shipment is rejected.
A random sample of 36 bearings is selected and measured. What is
the probability of accepting the shipment that has a mean diameter
of 0.240 inches and a standard deviation of 0.015 inches? The
probability of accepting the shipment is 0.0228.
6. According to the M&M website, the average percentage of
brown M&M candies in a package of milk chocolate M&Ms is
13%. Suppose you randomly select a package of milk chocolate
M&Ms that contains 55 candies and determine the proportion of
brown candies in the package. What is the probability that the
sample
percentage of brown M&M candies is less than 20%?
P(p<0.20)=0.9382
7. The average income of a business analyst is $68,936 as
reported by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. A sample of 81
business analysts yield a standard deviation of $10,000. The
probability of an annual income of a business analyst is between
$67,000 and $70,000 is 0.8289.
8. The mean weight of 2000 male subjects whose height ranges
between 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet is 183 pounds with a standard
deviation of 6 lbs. The probability that in a sample of 44 male
subjects whose weight exceeds 185 pounds is 0.136.
9. According to the National Center for Health Statistics 15%
of all Americans have hearing impediments. In a random sample of
120 Americans, the probability that less than 12% have hearing
impediments is 0.1788.
10. The probability that a person in the LA area who has at
least a baccalaureate degree is 0.21. From a group of 400 persons
randomly selected from LA the probability that the proportion
ranging from 17% to 24% of persons having a baccalaureate degree is
0.9104.
