  1. The results of a sample of 372 subscribers to Wired magazine shows the time spent using the Internet during the week. Previous surveys have revealed that the population standard deviation is 10.95 hours. The sample data can be found in the Excel test data file.

  1. What is the probability that another sample of 372 subscribers spends less than 19.00 hours per week using the Internet?

Answer #1

Given,

Mean 18.54301
Sd 10.8051
n 372

σ = 10.95

a)

P(X bar < 19)

Z = (X bar - Mean)/(σ/SQRT(n)) = (19-18.543)/(10.95/SQRT(372)) = 0.81

P(Z < 0.8050) = 0.7910

b)

95% CI

Given
X bar 18.543
S 10.95
n 372
α= 0.05
CI
Zc 1.959964 +/-   NORM.S.INV(α/2)
Upper 19.65573 X bar + Zc*(S/SQRT(n))
Lower 17.43027 X bar - Zc*(S/SQRT(n))

CI = (17.4303, 19.6557)

c)

σ = 10.95

ME = 1

C = 0.95

Zc = 1.96

n >= (Zc*σ/ME)^2 = (1.96*10.95/1)^2 = 460.62 = 461
