Question

The average full-sized front-loaded energy star clothes washer uses 15 gallons of water per load. Assume that the population standard deviation for the numbers of gallons of wwater used to washa load by these machines is 3.0

A. USING EXCEL what is the probability that a random sample of 90 loads washed in a full-sized front-loading Energy Start clothes washer will provide sample mean gallons of water used that is within one-half gallon of the population mean of 15 gallons

B. USING EXCEL What is the probability that a random sample of 50 loads washed in a full-sized front-load Energy Star clothes washer will provide a sample mean gallons of water used that is at least three-quarters of a gallon greater than the population mean of 15 gallons.

C. USING EXCEL

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
