4. According to past records, the average project completion time for a specific type of project of a construction company is 32 weeks with a standard deviation of 12 weeks. A random sample of 36 projects of similar type was selected from the records of the company. (a) Which type of distribution will the sample mean project completion time follow and what is the mean and standard deviation of this distribution? (b) What is the probability that the sample mean project completion time will be greater than 30 weeks? (c) After doing some analysis with the sample, the project manager wishes to set a time T (in week) as the deadline for all future similar types of projects. If it is expected that the probability that the sample mean project completion time will not exceed time T is 90%, find the value of T.

If the weights of students at A&M are normally distributed with a mean of 160 and a standard deviation of 25, what is the probability that a randomly selected student will weigh more than 150?
Suppose a paper reported that the freshman year weight gain for the students in a representative sample of 103 freshmen at a midwestern university was 5.6 pounds and that the standard deviation of the weight gain was 6.9 pounds. The authors also reported that 75.7% of these students gained more than 1.3 pounds, 17.4% maintained their weight within 1.3 pounds, and 6.8% lost more than 1.3 pounds. ***Calculate a 95% confidence interval (in pounds) for the population mean weight gain of freshmen students at this university.

For a standardized psychology examination intended for psychology majors, the historical data show that scores have a mean of 505 and a standard deviation of 170. The grading process of this year's exam has just begun. The mean score of the 40 exams graded so far is 528. What is the probability that a sample of 40 exams will have a mean score of 528 or more if the exam scores follow the same distribution as in the past? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least three decimal places. 0 X Ś
For a standardized psychology examination intended for psychology majors, the historical data show that scores have a mean of 510 and a standard deviation of 175. The grading process of this year's exam has just begun. The mean score of the 40 exams graded so far is 530. What is the probability that a sample of 40 exams will have a mean score of 530 or more if the exam scores follow the same distribution as in the past?

Phyllis, a college business student wants to study how many students in her class study for less than 20 hours per week. Past data reveals that the hours college students study per week has a mean of 29 with standard deviation 9 hours. The normal distribution for the population is shown by the dotted black line. She plans to take a random sample of 36 such college students and will calculate the mean hours studying to compare to the known hours studying. Compute the the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means for a sample of size 36. Round your answers to the nearest tenth. Show your answer by moving the two draggable points to build the sampling distribution.
Leave all probabilities as percentages, define x on all problems with data. Simple random samples of high interest (8.9%) and low interest (6.3%) mortgages were obtained. For the 40 high interest mortgages, the borrowers had a mean FICO credit score of 594.8 and a standard deviation of 12.2. For the 40 low interest mortgages, borrowers had a mean FICO credit score of 785.2 and a standard deviation of 16.3. Use an alpha level of 0.01, and a two tailed test of hypothesis to test the claim that the mean FICO score borrowers with a high interest mortgage is the same as the mean FICO score of borrowers with the low interest mortgage.
2) In the year 2033, Kayla Faruq is leading emergency room doctor. Kayla is presently researching the relationship between stress and cardiovascular disease. Suppose systolic blood pressures of patients that are experiencing chronic stress is normally distributed with a mean of 140 and a standard deviation of 5.9. a) In a random sample of 16 chronically stressed patients, what is the probability the sample mean is less than 132? Would you classify this observation as an outlier? Why or why not? b) What is the probability a randomly selected chronically stressed patient has a systolic blood pressure less than 132? Would you classify this observation as an outlier? Why or why not? ||

From reviewing the temperature data for one of the regions of Iraq for a period of time, it was found that 15% of the days of the month of July (the number of days is 31) have a maximum temperature of more than 42 degrees Celsius and that 5% of the days of July have a temperature of less than 36 degrees Celsius. If you know that the temperature for the month of July in this region is subject to a normal distribution, then the mean and standard deviation S for this distribution are equal to:
Suppose a college admissions test is normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. If a student scores in the 75th percentile, what is their test score? If the top 10% of test takers are eligible for a scholarship, what is the minimum score needed to qualify for the scholarship? If the test is taken twice by the same student, and the scores are independent, what is the probability that their average score is above 550?
What would be the mean of the sampling distribution of all possible sample means obtained from this population? If population with a positively skewed distribution of scores has a mean of 5 and a standard deviation of 4.
