Alberti Abbasi, VP of Operations at Ingleside International Bank, is evaluating the service level provided to walk-in customers. Accordingly, he plans a sample of waiting times for walk-in customers. If the population of waiting times has a mean of 15 minutes and a standard deviation of 4 minutes, the probability that Albert's sample of 64 will have a mean less than 14 minutes is?

An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 130 lb and 191 lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 136 lb and a standard deviation of 34.9 lb a. If a pilot is randomly selected find the probability that his weight is between 130 lb and 191 lb.
An energy study found that household use of electricity had a mean of 682 and a standard deviation of 551 kilowatt-hours. Suppose the distribution of energy use was normal. Using a table, calculator, or software that can give normal probabilities, find the proportion of households with electricity use greater than 1000 kilowatt-hours.
The producer of a weight-loss pill advertises that people who use the pill lose, after one week, an average (mean) of 1.8 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.95 pounds. In a recent study, a group of 55 people who used this pill were interviewed. The study revealed that these people lost a mean of 1.9 pounds after one week. If the producer's claim is correct, what is the probability that the mean weight loss after one week on this pill for a random sample of 55 individuals will be 1.9 pounds or less? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least three decimal places.
The Aluminum Association reports that the average American uses 56.8 pounds of aluminum in a year. A random sample of 49 households is monitored for one year to determine aluminum usage.

At a physical therapy center doctors work with patients to develop an exercise treatment plan to combat injuries. Assume that the time spent doing pool exercises per week has an unknown distribution with a mean of 4.5 hours and the standard deviation of 0.9 hours. A doctor believes most patients at the physical therapy center swim more per week. If the doctor randomly selects 32 physical therapy patients find the probability that the average time spent swimming is over 4.7 hours.
You’re a quality control engineer for Select Recipe, and you’re in charge of theproduction line for big nasty jars of mustard. A data collection effort suggests that jars of mustard that come from the production line have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 137.2 ounces and a standard deviation of 1.6 ounces. The label on the jar suggests that the jar is marketed at 135 ounces.a.What is the probability that a randomly chosen jar contains more than the stated contents?b.Among ten randomly suggested jars, what is the probability that at least eight contain more than the stated contents?c.Assuming that the mean weight remains at 137.2 ounces, to what value would the standard deviation have to be changed so that 95% of all jars contain more than the stated contents?

Suppose a subdivision on the southwest side of Denver, Colorado, contains 1,800 houses. The subdivision was built in 1983. A sample of 110 houses is selected randomly and evaluated by an appraiser. If the mean appraised value of a house in this subdivision for all houses is $229,000, with a standard deviation of $8,500, what is the probability that the sample average is greater than $231,000?

The Jamestown Steel Company manufactures and assembles desks and other office equipment at several plants. The weekly production of the Model A325 desk follows a normal probability distribution, with a mean of 200 and a standard deviation of 16. Recently, due to market expansion, new production methods have been introduced and new employees hired. The vice president of manufacturing would like to investigate whether there has been a change in the weekly production of the Model A325 desk. Is the mean number different from 200? The mean number of desks produced last year (50 weeks, because the plant was shut down two weeks for vacation) is 203.5. Test using the.01 significance level. i. The alternate hypothesis is u200. ii.

Recently, due to market expansion, new production methods have been introduced and new employees hired. The vice president of manufacturing would like to investigate whether there has been a change in the weekly production of the Model A325 desk. To put it another way, is the mean number of desks produced different from 200 at the 0.01 significance level? If the VP took a sample of new production, where he took the data for 50 weeks and found the average production to be 203.5 desks, what would you conclude?
The starting salaries of financial accountants are positively skewed, with a mean of $52,000 and a standard deviation of $12,000. The starting salaries of cost accountants have a slightly skewed distribution, with a mean of $58,000 and a standard deviation of $14,000. A random sample of 40 financial accountants and a random sample of 50 cost accountants are selected. What is the probability that the starting salaries of the financial accountants will not exceed the starting salaries of A Round the final cost accountants? answer to four decimal places.
