Question
 
 
You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question.
Suppose we are interested in the Annual Salary of Electronics Associated, Inc. (EAI) managers and we find that for a sample of n = 30 managers, there was 0.5034 probability
of obtaining a sample mean within + $500 of the population mean (see the figure below).
Sampling distribution
of I
Oz= 730.30
P(51,300 <I<52,300)
P(T<51,300)
51,300
51,800
52,300
For parts (a) and (b), let the population mean be 51,800 and o = 4,000. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
