A banker finds that the number of times people use automated-teller machines (ATMs) in a year are normally distributed with a mean of 40.0 and a standard deviation of 11.2 (based on data from Maritz Marketing Research, Inc.).

Assume that human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of 98.23°F and standard deviation of .64°F. The hospital uses 100.6°F as the lowest temperature considered to be a fever. What percentage of normal and healthy person's would be considered to have a fever? Does this percentage suggest that a cut off of 100.6°F is appropriate? Physicians want to select a minimum temperature for requiring further medical test. What should the temperature be if we want only 5% of healthy people to exceed it?

Maddie has two different routes that she can take to get to school. The first route is a longer distance, but has no traffic lights. The second route is a shorter distance, but has a lot of traffic lights. The amount of time it takes to get to school by the "longer distance" route follows a Normal distribution with mean 20 minutes and standard deviation o = 1.5 mirutes. The amount of time it takes to get to school by the "shorter distance" route follows a Normal distribution with mean =17 minutes and standard deviation a = 6.5 minutes. Suppose we select independent random samples of 20 days for each route. Let XL-Xs be the đifference in the sample mean travel time for the two routes %3D %3D (a) Calculate the probability that the sample mean time for the longer distance is shorter than the sample mean time for the shorter distance. (b) Should we be surprised if the sample mean time for the longer distance is shorter than the sample mean time for the shorter distance?
