17#3

A groundsman paces out a soccer pitch with paces which can be taken to be independent from some distribution with mean  m and standard deviation  m. The groundsman takes one hundred such paces to mark out the pitch. Provide answers to the following to three decimal places.

(a) Estimate the probability that the mean of the 100 paces is greater than  m.

(b) Estimate the probability that the resulting pitch will be within  metres of 100 m

Charles, Julia, and Alex are in grades 4, 3, and 2, respectively, and are representing their school at a spelling bee. The school's team score is the sum of the number of words the individual students spell correctly out of 100 words each. Different words are given for each grade level. From practicing at school, it is known that the probability of spelling each word correctly is 0.91 for Charles and 0.83 for the younger two, Julia and Alex. (a)...

For a school, the principal expected that a student takes 45 minutes to travel to school on average. Suppose the time taken to travel to school by a student follows a normal distribution. 100 students are randomly selected from the school for interview and they took on average 44 minutes to travel to school with a standard deviation of 15 minutes. 6 of the selected students had lateness record in the last month. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the...
