Answer to Problem 22P
The probability that total taxi and take off time would be less than 320 minutes for 36 jets on a given runway is 0.8238.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Central limit theorem:
The characteristics of the sampling distribution
Sampling distribution:
For x distribution the sampling distribution of
In the formula,
The
In the formula,
The random variable x is defined as taxi and take-off time for commercial jets. The
Consider the expression
The sum of taxi and take off time for 36 commercial jets on runway is denoted by w. That is,
The total taxi and take off time for 36 commercial jets on runway (w) is less than 320 can be written as,
Hence, the quantities
The number of commercial jets on runway in the study is
The mean of the x distributions is
The standard deviation of the x distributions is
Z score:
Substitute
Use the Appendix II: Tables, Table 5: Areas of a Standard Normal Distribution: to obtain probability less than 0.93.
- Locate the value 0.9 in column z.
- Locate the value 0.03 in top row.
- The intersecting value of row and column is 0.8238.
The probability is,
Hence, the probability that total taxi and take off time would be less than 320 minutes for 36 jets on a given runway is 0.8238.
(b)
Find the probability that total taxi and take off time would be more than 275 minutes for 36 jets on a given runway.
(b)

Answer to Problem 22P
The probability that total taxi and take off time would be more than 275 minutes for 36 jets on a given runway is 0.9808.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The total taxi and take-off time for 36 commercial jets on runway (w) is more than 275 minutes has to be calculated which is denoted as
Consider the expression
The sum of taxi and take off time for 36 commercial jets on runway is denoted by w. That is,
The total taxi and take off time for 36 commercial jets on runway (w) is more than 275 can be written as,
Hence, the quantities
Z score:
Substitute
Use the Appendix II: Tables, Table 5: Areas of a Standard Normal Distribution: to obtain probability less than –2.07.
- Locate the value –2.0 in column z.
- Locate the value 0.07 in top row.
- The intersecting value of row and column is 0.0192.
The probability is,
Hence, the probability that total taxi and take off time would be more than 275 minutes for 36 jets on a given runway is 0.9808.
(c)
Find the probability that total taxi and take off time would be between 275 minutes and 320 minutes for 36 jets on a given runway.
(c)

Answer to Problem 22P
The probability that total taxi and take off time would be between 275 minutes and 320 minutes for 36 jets on a given runway is 0.8046.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
From part (a), the quantity 320 minutes is equal to 8.889 after conversion. The z score is 0.93. The probability value for less than 0.93 from normal table is 0.8238.
From part (b), the quantity 275 minutes is equal to 7.639 after conversion. The z score is
The probability is,
Hence, the probability that total taxi and take off time would be between 275 minutes and 320 minutes for 36 jets on a given runway is 0.8046.

- 1. If a firm spends more on advertising, is it likely to increase sales? Data on annual sales (in $100,000s) and advertising expenditures (in $10,000s) were collected for 20 firms in order to estimate the model Sales = Po + B₁Advertising + ε. A portion of the regression results is shown in the accompanying table. Intercept Advertising Standard Coefficients Error t Stat p-value -7.42 1.46 -5.09 7.66E-05 0.42 0.05 8.70 7.26E-08 a.

- The battery temperatures are a major concern for us. Can you analyze and describe the sample data? What are the average and median temperatures? How much variability is there in the temperatures? Is there anything that stands out? Our engineers’ assumption is that the temperature data is normally distributed. If that is the case, what would be the likelihood that the Safety Zone temperature will exceed 5.15 degrees? What is the probability that the Safety Zone temperature will be less than 4.65 degrees? What is the actual percentage of samples that exceed 5.25 degrees or are less than 4.75 degrees? Is the manufacturing process producing units with stable Safety Zone temperatures? Can you check if there are any apparent changes in the temperature pattern? Are there any outliers? A closer look at the Z-scores should help you in this regard.arrow_forwardNeed help pleasearrow_forwardPlease conduct a step by step of these statistical tests on separate sheets of Microsoft Excel.
