A sample of 250 students from COMM 215 sections, class of winter 2021, was taken for an exploratory study of the course activities. Each member of a random sample of 50 of these students was asked to estimate the amount of time he or she spent on the previous week's assignments for quiz preparations. Suppose that the population standard deviation is 26 minutes. What is the probability that the sample mean differs from the population mean by more than 8 minutes? Answer:

Suppose the manager agrees to pay each employee a $50 bonus if they meet a certain goal. On a typical Saturday, the oil change facility will perform 40 oil changes between 10 AM and 12PM. Treating this as a random sample, there would be a 10% chance of the mean oil change time being at or below what value.
One year, the distribution of salaries for professional sports players had mean $1.6 million and standard deviation $0.81 million. Suppose a sample of 100 major league players was taken.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the mean household income in the United States in 2000 was $57,045 and the median household income was $42,148.The variability of household income is quite large with an overall standard deviation of approximately $25000.
