Tool workers are subject to work-related injuries. One disorder, caused by strains to the hands and wrists, is called carpal tunnel syndrome. It strikes as many as 23,000 workers per year. The U.S. Labour Department estimates that the average cost of this disorder to employers and insurers is approximately $25,000 per injured worker. Suppose these costs are normally distributed, with a standard deviation of $8,000. What proportion of the costs are between $16,000 and $30,0007

1. Builtrite Furniture has calculated the average weekly payroll to be $15,000 with a standard deviation of $3,000. Assuming a normal distribution, there is a 4% chance that the weekly payroll will be above what dollar amount? Group of answer choices A. $20,250 B. $21,368 C. $21,983 D. $15,300
is tested. A mean and standard deviation of 27,000 and 5000 miles, respectively, are computed. Assume that the lives of the tires in miles are approximately normally distributed. Can we conclude from these data that the manufacturer's product is as good as claimed? Use a .05 level of significance. Problem 4 A market research firm is interested in the amount that households in a certain town spend on groceries each week. The firm believes that the average amount spent per house hold each week is less than $90. A random sample of 100 households yields a mean of $88 and a standard deviation of $10. Do these data support the firm's belief? Use P-value to test this claim. Problem 5 An industrial psychologist feels that a big factor in job turnover among assembly line workers is RSIT
Suppose that mean retail price per gallon of regular grade gasoline is $3.41 with a standard deviation of $0.10 and that the retail price per gallon has a bell-shaped distribution. NOTE: Please use empirical rule approximations for this problem. a. What percentage of regular grade gasoline sells for between $3.21 and $3.61 per gallon (to 1 decimal)? b. What percentage of regular grade gasoline sells for between $3.21 and $3.51 per gallon (to 1 decimal)? c. What percentage of regular grade gasoline sells for more than $3.51 per gallon (to 1 decimal)?

A bottled water distributor wants to determine whether the mean amount of water contained in 1-gallon bottles purchased from a nationally known water bottling company is actually 1 gallon. You know from the water bottling company specifications that the standard deviation of the amount of water is 0.03 gallon. You select a random sample of 45 bottles, and the mean amount of water per 1-gallon bottle is 0.996 gallon. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. Is there evidence that the mean amount is different from 1.0 gallon? (Use a = 0.01.) Let u be the population mean. Determine the null hypothesis, Ho, and the alternative hypothesis, H, . Ho: H What is the test statistic? ZSTAT = (Round to two decimal places as needed.) What is/are the critical value(s)? (Use a = 0.01.) (Round to two decimal places as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) What is the final conclusion? O A. Fail to reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean…
The First Chicago Bank is reviewing its service charges and interest-paying policies on checking accounts. The daily balance of a checking account is defined to be the balance in the checking account at 2:00pm. The bank has found that for all personal checking accounts the mean of all the daily balances is $ 800 and the standard deviation is $175. In addition, the distribution of personal checking account daily balances can be approximated very well with a normal model. Question 1. What percentage of the bank's customers carry daily balances between $700 and $1,000? % (Use 2 decimal places in your answer. Note that the answer is requested as a PERCENT, that is, a value between 0 and 100) Example, if you got 0.1234, you should enter it as 12.34 Question 2.The bank is considering paying interest to customers carrying daily checking account balances in excess of a certain amount. If the bank does not want to pay interest to more than 4% of its checking account customers, what is the…
The mean value of land and buildings per acre from a sample of farms is $1400, with a standard deviation of $300. The data set has a bell-shaped distribution.

Consider the data from the Anthropology 105 class. The mean for women is 64.33 in and the standard deviation is 2.64 in. The average height of men in the US is approximately 5ft 10in. What proportion of women represented here are shorter than the average man?
Dr. Jill Biden has been teaching a seventh grade English composition class for many years. She has the feeling that over the past several years, the writing ability of students has changed. A national test of proficiency in composition was administered 5 years ago. The resulting distribution of scores was normally shaped, had a mean of 85 and a standard deviation of 10.9. In order to test his feeling, she gives her present class of 43 students the same proficiency test. The resulting mean is 80 and the standard deviation is 8.7. a. What is the alternative hypothesis? b. What is the null hypothesis? c. What is your conclusion, using an alpha of 0.05 (2 tailed). d. What type of error might you be making because of your conclusion in part c?

An insurance company wants to make sure that its best customers (those with lowest value of insurance claims) stay with the company. To achieve this goal, the company plans to offer a 10% discount on the annual health insurance premium for customers with the lowest 20% of annual health care expenses. If the average annual health care expenses for a family of four is $3,650 with a standard deviation of $975, what is the amount of the maximum annual health care expense that will qualify for the proposed discount?
