An energy study found that household use of electricity had a mean of 682 and a standard deviation of 551 kilowatt-hours. Suppose the distribution of energy use was normal. Using a table, calculator, or software that can give normal probabilities, find the proportion of households with electricity use greater than 1000 kilowatt-hours.

You’re a quality control engineer for Select Recipe, and you’re in charge of theproduction line for big nasty jars of mustard. A data collection effort suggests that jars of mustard that come from the production line have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 137.2 ounces and a standard deviation of 1.6 ounces. The label on the jar suggests that the jar is marketed at 135 ounces.a.What is the probability that a randomly chosen jar contains more than the stated contents?b.Among ten randomly suggested jars, what is the probability that at least eight contain more than the stated contents?c.Assuming that the mean weight remains at 137.2 ounces, to what value would the standard deviation have to be changed so that 95% of all jars contain more than the stated contents?

The Jamestown Steel Company manufactures and assembles desks and other office equipment at several plants. The weekly production of the Model A325 desk follows a normal probability distribution, with a mean of 200 and a standard deviation of 16. Recently, due to market expansion, new production methods have been introduced and new employees hired. The vice president of manufacturing would like to investigate whether there has been a change in the weekly production of the Model A325 desk. Is the mean number different from 200? The mean number of desks produced last year (50 weeks, because the plant was shut down two weeks for vacation) is 203.5. Test using the.01 significance level. i. The alternate hypothesis is u200. ii. The calculated value of z is 2.55. m. The decision rule is: if the computed value of the test statistic is not between -2.58 and 2.58, reject the null hypothesis. desks produced Multiple Choice (1).
