Question

Yoonie is a personnel manager in a large corporation. Each month she must review 10 of the employees. From past experience, she has found that the reviews take her approximately 4 hours each to do with a population standard deviation of 0.9 hours. Let X be the random variable representing the time it takes her to complete one review. Assume X is normally distributed. Let X¯ be the random variable representing the mean time to complete the 10 reviews. Assume that the 10 reviews represent a random set of reviews.

(a) What is the mean, standard deviation, and sample size?

mean=

standard deviation=

sample size=

(b) Complete the distributions. ROund all decimals to our decimal places.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
