The personal office at a large electronics firm regularly schedules job interviews and maintains records of the interviews. From the past records they have found that the length of a first interview is normally distributed with a mean u = 34 minutes and a standard deviation o = 7 minutes. What is the probability that the average length of time for nine interviews will be 40 minutes or longer?

You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. Data were collected on the top 1,000 financial advisers. Company A had 239 people on the list and another company, Company B, had 121 people on the list. A sample of 16 of the advisers from Company A and 10 of the advisers from Company B showed that the advisers managed many very large accounts with a large variance in the total amount of funds managed. The standard deviation of the amount managed by advisers from Company A was s₁ = $583 million. The standard deviation of the amount managed by advisers from Company B was s₂ = $484 million. Conduct a hypothesis test at a = 0.10 to determine if there is a significant difference in the population variances for the amounts managed by the two companies. What is your conclusion about the variability in the amount of funds managed by advisers from the two firms? State the null and alternative hypotheses. 2 2 H₂:0 2 Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer…

In a recent year, grade 7 Maryland State public school students taking a mathematics assessment test had a mean score of 230 with a standard deviation of 23. Assume the scores are normally distributed. Find the probability that a student had a score higher than 285.
One year, the distribution of salaries for professional sports players had a mean of $1.6 million and a standard deviation of $0.7 million. Suppose a sample of 100 major league players was taken. Find the approximate probability that the average salary of the 100 players that year exceeds $1.1 million.
Cody took his first physics exam and scored an 80. The population mean for this exam is 70, and the standard deviation is 5. What is the probability of selecting a person with a score greater than Cody’s?
The heights of women in the United States are normally distributed with a mean of 63.7 inches and a standard deviation of 2.7 inches. If you randomly select a woman in the United States, what is the probability that she will be between 65 and 67 inches tall?
This question applies to the next 3 MCQs. Wire wound resistors are being custom made for a Design House with a maximum specification of 305.70 ohms and a minimum specification of 304.55 ohms. If the resistance is higher it can be reworked, if lower they must be scrapped. The resistors manufactured follow a normal distribution with a mean of 305.2 ohms and a standard deviation of 0.25 ohms. What percentage of the resistors are scrap (approximately)? 5% 2% 0.1% 0.5% 1%
The NJ Department of Health has reported the average life span of NJ residents is 81 years. If the standard deviation is σ = 4 years, what is the probability of a person living to at least 92 years of age?
A farmer was interested in determining how many grasshoppers were in his field. He knows that the distribution of grasshoppers may not be normally distributed in his field due to growing conditions. As he drives his tractor down each row he counts how many grasshoppers he sees flying away. After several rows he figures the mean number of flights to be 57 with a standard deviation of 12. What is the probability of the farmer will count 60 or more flights on average in the next 40 rows down which he drives his tractor? Round to four decimal places.

Maddie has two different routes that she can take to get to school. The first route is a longer distance, but has no traffic lights. The second route is a shorter distance, but has a lot of traffic lights. The amount of time it takes to get to school by the "longer distance" route follows a Normal distribution with mean 20 minutes and standard deviation o = 1.5 mirutes. The amount of time it takes to get to school by the "shorter distance" route follows a Normal distribution with mean =17 minutes and standard deviation a = 6.5 minutes. Suppose we select independent random samples of 20 days for each route. Let XL-Xs be the đifference in the sample mean travel time for the two routes %3D %3D (a) Calculate the probability that the sample mean time for the longer distance is shorter than the sample mean time for the shorter distance. (b) Should we be surprised if the sample mean time for the longer distance is shorter than the sample mean time for the shorter distance?
