The manager of a computer retails store is concerned that his suppliers have been giving him laptop computers with lower than average quality. His research shows that replacement times for the model laptop of concern are normally distributed with a mean of 4.3 years and a standard deviation of 0.4 years. He then randomly selects records on 35 laptops sold in the past and finds that the mean replacement time is 4.1 years. a. Find the probability that 35 randomly selected laptops will have a mean replacement time of 4.1 years or less. Round your answer to four decimal places. P(M < 4.1 years) b. Based on the result above, does it appear that the computer store has been given laptops of lower than average quality? O No. The probability from the sample shows it is unlikely that the owner is given laptops lower than average quality. O Yes. The probability from the sample shows that there's a possibility that the owner is given laptops lower than average quality.

The producer of a weight-loss pill advertises that people who use the pill lose, after one week, an average (mean) of 1.8 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.95 pounds. In a recent study, a group of 55 people who used this pill were interviewed. The study revealed that these people lost a mean of 1.9 pounds after one week. If the producer's claim is correct, what is the probability that the mean weight loss after one week on this pill for a random sample of 55 individuals will be 1.9 pounds or less? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least three decimal places.
Some battery manufacturers claim that the average battery life of the company is 240 hours. There is a theory in the quality department of the company that the lifespan is different from 240 hours. The Quality Department therefore decided to conduct an experiment to test this theory. A random sample of size 18 was taken and the lifespan was examined. The average life of the batteries examined was 237,056 hours and the standard deviation was 11,280. Battery life can be expected to follow a normal distribution.a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the average battery life.b) Examine with an appropriate hypothesis test whether the average battery life differs from 240 hours.sometimes. Use α = 0.05.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the mean household income in the United States in 2000 was $57,045 and the median household income was $42,148.The variability of household income is quite large with an overall standard deviation of approximately $25000. Suppose a random sample of 225 households was selected. What is the probability that the sample mean would be above $60,245?
The producer of a weight-loss pill advertises that people who use the pill lose, after one week, an average (mean) of 1.8 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.05 pounds. In a recent study, a group of 45 people who used this pill were interviewed. The study revealed that these people lost a mean of 1.73 pounds after one week. If the producer's claim is correct, what is the probability that the mean weight loss after one week on this pill for a random sample of 45 individuals will be 1.73 pounds or more? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least three decimal places.
The producer of a weight-loss pill advertises that people who use the pill lose, after one week, an average (mean) of 1.75 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.02 pounds. In a recent study, a group of 60 people who used this pill were interviewed. The study revealed that these people lost a mean of 1.9 pounds after one week. If the producer's claim is correct, what is the probability that the mean weight loss after one week on this pill for a random sample of 60 individuals will be 1.9 pounds or less? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least three decimal places.
For a standardized psychology examination intended for psychology majors, the historical data show that scores have a mean of 515 and a standard deviation of 170. The grading process of this year's exam has just begun. The mean score of the 35 exams graded so far is 518. What is the probability that a sample of 35 exams will have a mean score of 518 or more if the exam scores follow the same distribution as in the past? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least three decimal places.

A dean in the business school claims that GMAT scores of applicants to the school's MBA program have increased during the past 5 years. Five years ago, the mean and standard deviation of GMAT scores of MBA applicants were 550 and 60, respectively. 30 applications for this year's program were randomly selected and the GMAT scores recorded. If we assume that the distribution of GMAT scores of this year's applicants is the same as that of 5 years ago, find the probability of erroneously concluding that there is not enough evidence to supports the claim when, in fact, the true mean GMAT score is 590. Assume αα is 0.02.
An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 130 lb and 181 lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 136 lband a standard deviation of 29.6 lb. b. If 38 different pilots are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight is between 130 lb and 181 lb.
