I. Clayton County clinics have determined that the average number of patients that daily visit their Emergency Room facilities is 86 with a standard deviation of 44 patients. Suppose a sample of 7 clinics are investigated: a) Find the probability the average number of daily patients seen over 7 clinics is greater than 100 patients. b) Find the probability the average number of daily patients seen over 7 clinics is less than 70 patients.

The state of California has a mean annual rainfall of 19 inches, whereas the state of New York has a mean annual rainfall of 48 inches (Current Results website, October 27, 2012). Assume that the standard deviation for both states is 4 inches. A sample of 30 years of rainfall for California and a sample of 45 years of rainfall for New York has been taken. a. Show the probability distribution of the sample mean annual rainfall for California. This is a normal probability distribution with and (to decimals). b. What is the probability that the sample mean is within inch of the population mean for California? (to decimals) c. What is the probability that the sample mean is within inch of the population mean for New York? (to decimals) d. In which case, part (b) or part (c), is the probability of obtaining a sample mean within inch of the population mean greater? Why? The probability of being within inch is greater because the sample size is .
