In a psychological testing experiment, 100 subjects are selected randomly and their reaction time, in seconds, to a particular stimulus is measured. Past experience suggests that the population standard deviation in reaction times to these types of stimuli is 4 seconds and that the distribution of reaction times is approximately normal. The (sample) average time for the subjects is 55 seconds. Give an upper 97.5% bound (one-sided) for the mean reaction time. Write your answer with 3 digits after the decimal point. For example, 0.782 or 0.352. W

2. An automobile battery manufacturer claims that its midgrade battery has a mean life of 50 months with a standard deviation of 6 months. Suppose the distribution of battery lives of this particular brand is approximately normal. On the assumption that the claims are true, find the probability that a randomly selected battery of this type will last less than 48 months. (Use the software link for every question) (a) Let X = number of months a battery will last. Write the question above in terms of this variable X (b) Find the probability that a single battery of this type will last less than 48 months. (c) Find the probability that the mean of a random sample of 36 batteries will be less than 48 months. (d) Why do you think the values from part (b) and part (c) are different? Explain.

Customers arrive on average every 30 minutes to The Grease Monkey, an auto repair shop with only one mechanic. The inter-arrival times are exponentially distributed. Repair times are variable with a mean of 25 minutes and a standard deviation of 20 minutes. The mechanic works on one vehicle at a time from beginning to end and takes in any waiting vehicles on a first-come first-served basis. The garage itself has room for only one vehicle at a time, so waiting vehicles are kept in the parking lot where there are always plenty of spaces available. Assume customers never balk or renege. a)What is the average number of cars in the garage (not including the parking lot)? b) How long (in minutes) do vehicles wait on average in the adjacent parking lot? c) The competitor shop across the street also has a single mechanic and an average of 3.1 vehicles waiting in its parking lot. The competitor only does oil changes, which take an average of 21 minutes. Customer inter-arrival times to the…
Suppose that the walking step links of adult males are normally distributed with a mean of 2.7' and a standard deviation of 0.5'. A sample of 66 men's step lengths is taken. Find the probability that the mean of the sample taken is less than 2.2' round your answer to 4 decimal places if necessary.
Suppose that you have a four-sided die that is equally weighted (i.e. equal chance of any of the four sides landing face up). The four values on the die are [12.5968, 2, -2 and -12.5968] . If we roll the die 81 times, record the average, and repeat this process a total of 100 times, what does the central limit theorem predict will be the standard deviation of the set of averages?

Each of the batteries in a collection of 40 batteries is equally likely to be either a type A or a type B battery. Type A batteries last for an amount of time that has mean 50 and standard deviation 15; type B batteries last for an amount of time that has mean 30 and standard deviation 6. (a) Approximate the probability that the total life of all 40 batteries exceeds 1700. (b) Suppose it is known that 20 of the batteries are type A and 20 are type B. Now approximate the probability that the total life of all 40 batteries exceeds 1700.
