For a random sample of 6 seniors, what is the probability that less than 70% have accepted job offers?c. For a random sample of 6 seniors who have accepted job offers, what is the probability that the average salary is more than $38,000?d. A senior is chosen at random. What is the probability that she has accepted a job offer with a salary of more than $38,000?

Business weekly conducted a survey of graduates for 30 top MBA programs. On the basis of the survey assume the means annual salary 10 years after graduation is $162,000. Assume the standard deviation is $40,000. Suppose you take a simply random sample of 39 graduates. For a single randomly selected graduate, find the probability that her salary is between $156,692.00 and $161,395.00. For a simple random sample of 39 graduates, find the probability that the average salary is between $156,692.00 and $161,395.00. Is the assumption of normal necessary? Yes, or No.
