The time taken by a professor to grade a student’s take home final exam in Organizational Behavior is uniformly distributed between 30 to 60 minutes. Let X be the time taken to grade a student’s final exam in Org Behavior. [Be sure to show your calculations.]

a. Draw the probability distribution of X.

b. What is the probability it will take less than 20 minutes to grade a student’s exam?

c. What is the expected value of grading time for a student?

d. What is the standard deviation of grading time for a student?

e. What is the probability that it will take between 40 and 50 minutes to grade a student’s exam?

f. In some semester, the professor has only 10 students in his class. He starts grading at 8AM. There is a show in the evening that he would like to attend. What is the likelihood that he will finish grading all his final exams by 5PM to leave in time for the show?

g. Does X obey the empirical rule? Justify briefly.

A large statistics class consists of 250 students. On the final exam, the professor worries that question 13 might be unfair. He resolves to drop question 13 if less than 40% of the class correctly answers the question. After grading 125 randomly selected final exams (out of 250 taken), a student calls the professor and asks if question 13 will be dropped. The professor looks at the graded exams and notes that 46 of the 125 graded exams got question...

Professor Moriarty has never taken a formal statistics course; however, he has heard about the bell-shaped curve and has some knowledge of the Empirical Rule for normal distributions. Professor Moriarty teaches as Honors Quantum Physics class in which he grades on the bell curve. He assigns letter grades to his students' tests by assuming a normal distribution and utilizing the Empirical Rule. The Professor reasons that if IQ and SAT scores follow a normal distribution, then his students' scores must...
