Correct your (i) answer to 4 decimal places. (ii) 59% of the take-out orders can deliver within how many minutes? Correct your answer to 2 decimal places. (iii) For a random sample of 36 take-out orders, find the probability that the mean delivery time is more than 20.5 minutes. Correct your answer to 4 decimal places.“

Suppose the price for pomegranates in NYC have a mean of $1.25 with a standard deviation of $0.15. Suppose you sample 1 pomegranate for different stores in NYC for a total of 50 pomegranates. What is the resulting sampling distribution (mean, standard deviation) for this sample? Assume a random sample. a. None of these b. ($0.18, $0.02) c. ($1.25, $0.02) d.

(c) Longevity: Honolulu USA Today reported that the state with the longest mean life span is Hawaii, where the population mean life span is 77 years. A random sample of 20 obituary notices in the Honolulu Advertizer gave the following information about life span (in years) of Honolulu residents: 68 69 72 81 93 56 19 78 94 83 84 85 97 75 71 86 47 66 27 i. Compute the mean and standard deviation. Round off the mean to one decimal place and two decimal places for the standard deviation. Assuming that the life span in Honolulu is approximately normally distributed, does this information indicate that the population mean life span for Honolulu residents is less than 77 years? Use 5% level of significance. ii.
The mean weekly earnings of all female workers in a state is $710 and the mean weekly earnings of all male workers in the same state is $760. The standard deviations of the weekly earnings are $86 for the females and $106 for the males. Suppose we take one sample of 316 female workers and another sample of 329 male workers from this state. 1.1. By hand, what is the mean of the sampling distribution of the difference between the mean weekly earnings for females and males? 1.2. By hand, what is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the difference between the mean weekly earnings for females and males, rounded to two decimal places?

A large corporation employs 19185 individuals. The average income of all employees is $70616, with a standard deviation of $19414 and is skewed to the right. Consider this to be the population distribution. You are given a data set consisting of the incomes of 120 randomly selected employees.
For each day of last year, the number of vehicles passing through a certain intersection was recorded by a city engineer. One objective of this study was to determine the percentage of days that more than 425 vehicles used the intersection. If the mean data was 375 vehicles per day and the standard deviation was 25 vehicles: (c) Suppose the relative frequency distribution for the data is bell-shaped, then what percentage of days between 325 and 425 vehicles used the intersection ?
