Business Weekly conducted a survey of graduates from 30 top MBA programs. On the basis of the survey, assume the mean annual salary for graduates 10 years after graduation is 122000 dollars. Assume the standard deviation is 41000 dollars. Suppose you take a simple random sample of 97 graduates.Find the probability that a single randomly selected salary that doesn't exceed 126000 dollars.Answer = Find the probability that a sample of size n=97n=97 is randomly selected with a mean that that doesn't exceed 126000 dollars.Answer = Enter your answers as numbers accurate to 4 decimal places.
A company conducted a survey to determine the average age of its employees. The ages of 10 randomly selected employees are as follows: 25, 28, 30, 35, 40, 42, 45, 48, 50, and 55. Calculate the sample mean, sample variance, and standard deviation of the ages.
Team A: 6,6,7,7,6,5,6,5,4,5 Team B: 2,2,3,8,9,9,9,9,10,10 a. Compute the mean number of shots made for each team b. Compute the standard deviation for each team c. Compute a Z-score for the individual from team A that made 4 shots d. Compute a Z-score for the individual from team B who made 10 shots e.

The weights of all the turkeys sold in Fairfax County in 2020 were recorded in the data set “Fairfax Turkey Weights” found in the histogram. The weights are presented in pounds. There are 235,428 turkeys in this population. Calculate the probability that, in a random sample of eight turkeys, the mean weight is between 17 and 20 pounds. First, draw a picture with the rounded mean and values labeled and the shaded area representing the desired probability. Next, take a picture of your hand drawn sketch and upload it (if you do not have this technology, you may use any other method (i.e. Microsoft paint) to sketch the image). Then, complete this part by standardizing and using the Standard Normal Table to obtain this probability. Show your work “by hand”.
