Question

### Probability Calculation of Play Completion Time

Consider a play that is being performed regularly at a local theatre. The duration of the play and its intermission can both be described using normal distributions.

#### Given Data:
1. **Play Time:**
- Mean ($\mu_{\text{play}}$): 130 minutes
- Standard Deviation ($\sigma_{\text{play}}$): 3 minutes

2. **Intermission Time:**
- Mean ($\mu_{\text{intermission}}$): 15 minutes
- Standard Deviation ($\sigma_{\text{intermission}}$): 5 minutes

We aim to find the probability that the total performance (play plus intermission) is completed within 140 minutes.

### Aggregated Distribution of Performance Time

Define:
- $X$: Random variable representing the play time
- $Y$: Random variable representing the intermission time

These variables are independently normally distributed:
- $X \sim N(130, 3^2)$
- $Y \sim N(15, 5^2)$

The total performance time $Z$ is the sum of $X$ and $Y$:
\[ Z = X + Y \]

The mean ($\mu_Z$) and variance ($ \sigma_Z^2 $) of $Z$ are given by:
\[ \mu_Z = \mu_{\text{play}} + \mu_{\text{intermission}} = 130 + 15 = 145 \]
\[ \sigma_Z^2 = \sigma_{\text{play}}^2 + \sigma_{\text{intermission}}^2 = 3^2 + 5^2 = 9 + 25 = 34 \]
\[ \sigma_Z = \sqrt{34} \]

Thus, $Z$ follows a normal distribution:
\[ Z \sim N(145, \sqrt{34}) \]

### Probability Calculation

We need to calculate:
\[ P(Z < 140) \]

### Standardizing the Normal Variable

Convert $Z$ to the standard normal variable $Z'$:
\[ Z' = \frac{Z - \mu_Z}{\sigma_Z} = \frac{140 - 145}{\sqrt{34}} = \frac{140 - 145}{5.831} = -0.857 \]

Five years ago, the mean and standard deviation of GMAT scores of MBA applicants were 550 and 60, respectively. 30 applications for this year's program were randomly selected and the GMAT scores recorded. If we assume that the distribution of GMAT scores of this year's applicants is the same as that of 5 years ago, find the probability of erroneously concluding that there is not enough evidence to supports the claim when, in fact, the true mean GMAT score is 590. Assume αα is 0.02.
