Question

Assume that the fill, X, of a water filling machine is 12.2 with a standard deviation of 0.1 with the measurements being in liquid ounces. Assume X is a normal random variable. Suppose we independently take 50 such measurements, say X1, X2, ….., X50. Let M be the sample mean of the 50 measurements. Let S be the sum of the 50 measurements.
a) What is the probability that X < 12? 

b) What is the probability that at least one of the 50 measurements is less than 12? 

c) What is the expected value of S-(50 * 12.2) ? 

d) What is the standard deviation of S- (50 * 12.2) ? 

e) What is the probability that S- (50 * 12.2) >1? 

f) What is the probability that S- (50 × 12.2) < -0.5? 

g) What is the expected value of M? 

h) What is the standard deviation of M-12.2? 

i) What is the probability that M-12.2>.01? 

j) What is the standard deviation of 50*(M-12.2)? 

k) What is the variance of 50*(M-12.2)? 

l) If the probability of X > k is equal to .05 then what is k.?
