A dean in the business school claims that GMAT scores of applicants to the school's MBA program have increased during the past 5 years. 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.

The song-length of tunes in the Big Hair playlist of a Statistics professor's mp3-player varies from song to song. This variation can be modeled by the Normal distribution, with a mean song-length of u = 4.3 minutes and a standard deviation of o 0.65 minutes. Note that a song that has a length of 4.5 minutes is a song that lasts for 4 minutes and 30 seconds. = While listening to a song, the professor decides to shuffle the playlist, which means the mp3-player is to randomly pick a song within this particular playlist, and play this next. If using/working with z-values, use three decimals. (a) What is the probability that the next song to be played is between 3.6 and 4.6 minutes long? Answer to four decimals. (b) What proportion of all the songs in this playlist are longer than 5 minutes? Use four decimals in your answer. (c) 10% of all the songs in this playlist are at most how long, in minutes? Enter your answer to two decimals, and keep your answer consistent with how the song length…
