An automobile insurer has found that repair claims are Normally distributed with a mean of $620 and a standard deviation of $570. (a) Find the probability that a single claim, chosen at random, will be less than $590. ANSWER: (b) Now suppose that the next 70 claims can be regarded as a random sample from the long-run claims process. Find the probability that the average x¯x¯ of the 70 claims is smaller than $590. ANSWER: (c) If a sample larger than 70 claims is considered, there would be chance of getting a sample with an average smaller then $590. (NOTE: Enter ''LESS'', ''MORE'' or ''AN EQUAL'' without the quotes.)
