[This problem is taken from Montgomery, Runger, and Hubele (2007).] The amount of time that acustomer spends waiting at an airport check-in counter is a random variable with mean 8.2 minutes andstandard deviation 1.5 minutes. Suppose that a random sample of size 49 customers is observed. Findthe probability that the average time waiting in line for these customers is (a) less than 8 minutes;(b) between 8 and 9 minutes; (c) less than 7.5 minutes.

The following information has been given: The population mean is μ=8.2. The standard deviation is…

1. Find the standard normal probabilities of being less than the following z-scores. Compare the probabilities found in the normal distribution table to the values found using the calculator with the normalcdf function. There is a link to the normal tables in Course Documents; these are the "official" tables used by U.S. government agencies. But there is a more convenient, user-friendly table in the "formula card", available as a .pdf file (also in Course Documents). Z-Score 155 1.4 1.96 -1.4 -1.28 -.82 From Table From Calculator
Suppose that the miles-per-gallon rating of passenger cars is a normally distributed random variable with a mean and a standard deviation of 38.8 mpg and 4.1 mpg, respectively. What is the probability that a randomly selected passenger car gets at least 45 mpg? What is the probability that a randomly selected passenger car gets between 35 and 40 mpg? An automobile manufacturer wants to build a new passenger car with an mpg rating that improves upon 99% of existing cars. What is the minimum mpg that would achieve this goal?
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 .
