Question
According to a study, the time between taking a pain reliever and getting relief of a randomly selected patient is normally distributed with a mean of 38 minutes and a standard deviation of 4.2 minutes. Let XX be the time between taking a pain reliever and getting relief for a randomly selected patient and let ¯¯¯XX¯  be the average time between taking a pain reliever and getting relief for a random sample of size 16.

1. Describe the probability distribution of XX and state its parameters μμ and σσ:

 X∼X∼         ( μ=μ= , σ=σ= )

and find the probability that the time between taking a pain reliever and getting relief for a randomly selected patient is between 26 and 47 minutes.

 (Round the answer to 4 decimal places)

2. Use the Central Limit Theorem

     

to describe the probability distribution of ¯¯¯XX¯ and state its parameters μ¯¯¯XμX¯ and σ¯¯¯XσX¯: (Round the answers to 1 decimal place)

 ¯¯¯X∼X¯∼         ( μ¯¯¯X=μX¯= , σ¯¯¯X=σX¯= )

and find the probability that the average time between taking a pain reliever and getting relief for a sample of 16 randomly selected patients is less than 38 minutes.

 (Round the answer to 4 decimal places)
