The amount of time that a customer spends waiting at an airport check-in counter is a random variable with mean 10.2 minutes and standard deviation 1.5 minutes. Suppose that a random sample of 49 customers is observed. Find the probability that the average time waiting in line for these customers is: A) less than 10 minutes B) between 9.5 and 10.5 minutes C) more than 9.8 minutes

The state of California has a mean annual rainfall of 19 inches, whereas the state of New York has a mean annual rainfall of 48 inches (Current Results website, October 27, 2012). Assume that the standard deviation for both states is 4 inches. A sample of 30 years of rainfall for California and a sample of 45 years of rainfall for New York has been taken. a. Show the probability distribution of the sample mean annual rainfall for California. This is a normal probability distribution with and (to decimals). b. What is the probability that the sample mean is within inch of the population mean for California? (to decimals) c. What is the probability that the sample mean is within inch of the population mean for New York? (to decimals) d. In which case, part (b) or part (c), is the probability of obtaining a sample mean within inch of the population mean greater? Why? The probability of being within inch is greater because the sample size is .
