Suppose that the mean hourly wage of all employees in a large semiconductor manufacturing facility is $50 with a standard deviation of $10. Let X be the mean hourly wages of certain employees selected randomly from all the employees of this manufacturing facility. If a random sample of 256 employees is selected, then the probability that the mean hourly wages X falls between $48 and $52 is: O 0.8904 0.9544

Service time for a customer coming through a checkout counter in a retail store is a random variable with the mean of 4.0 minutes and standard deviation of 2.0 minutes. Suppose that the distribution of service time is fairly close to a normal distribution. Suppose there are two counters in a store, n₁ = 46 customers in the first line and n₂ = 52 customers in the second line. Find the probability that the difference between the mean service time for the shorter line X₁ and the mean service time for the longer one X₂ is more than 0.3 minutes. Assume that the service times for each customer can be regarded as independent random variables. Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76). P = !

A random sample of 40 computer chips is drawn from population and the weight of each recorded. A previous study showed that the population mean weight was 0.8 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.1 ounces. What is the probability that the sample has a mean weight between 0.75 and 0.90 ounces?
Service time for a customer coming through a checkout counter in a retail store is a random variable with the mean of 3.5 minutes and standard deviation of 3.5 minutes. Suppose that the distribution of service time is fairly close to a normal distribution. Suppose there are two counters in a store, n₁ = 2 customers in the first line and n₂ = 13 customers in the second line. Find the probability that the difference between the mean service time for the shorter line X₁ and the mean service time for the longer one X₂ is more than 0.1 minutes. Assume that the service times for each customer can be regarded as independent random variables. Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76). P =
Suppose that an airport reports that the average time it takes for a person to get through security in 25 minutes. Assume the variable is approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 4.5 minutes. If 102 people were selected at random, how many would be expected to make it through security in less than 20 minutes? Approximately _________would make it through in less than 20 minutes.

A certain city the Transportation Authority (CTA) has trollies leaving regularly throughout the day beginning at 5:00 a.m. Although the length of a trip and the number of stops are constant, the time taken for each trip varies due to weather, traffic, and time of the day. According to the CTA, the mean time taken for the trip is 50 minutes. Suppose the travel time is Normally distributed with standard deviation o = 4 minutes. A random sample of 25 trips is obtained, and the time for each is recorded. Find the probability that the sample mean time will be less than 48 minutes.
