b) P(47 < < 53)
= P((47 - )/() < ( - )/() < (53 - )/())
= P((47 - 50)/2 < Z < (53 - 50)/2)
= P(-1.5 < Z < 1.5)
= P(Z < 1.5) - P(Z < -1.5)
= 0.9332 - 0.0668
= 0.8664
c) P(47 < X < 53)
= P((47 - )/ < (X - )/ < (53 - )/)
= P((47 - 50)/16 < Z < (53 - 50)/16)
= P(-0.19 < Z < 0.19)
= P(Z < 0.19) - P(Z < -0.19)
= 0.5753 - 0.4247
= 0.1506
d) part b) There is no need for any assumption about population. Since the sample size is large(n > 30), so according to the Central limit theorem the sampling distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normally distributed.
part c) Assume that the population is normally distributed. Since the sample size is not large, so we cannot apply the Central limit theorem.
e) P( < 85)
= P(( - )/() < (85 - )/())
= P( Z < (85 - 50)/2)
= P(Z < 17.5)

Since the probability is greater than 0.95, so it is unusual.
f) We cannot support the claim that the average time for untrained mice to exit the maze is equal to 50 seconds.

The time needed for college students to complete a certain paper and pencil maze follows a Normal distribution with a population mean of 80 seconds and a population standard deviation of 16 seconds. You wish to see if the mean time µ is changed by meditation, so you have a random sample of 12 college students meditate for 30 minutes and then complete the maze. It takes them an average of x = 73.3 seconds to complete the maze, with...
1a) The time needed for college students to complete a certain paper and pencil maze follows a normal distribution with a mean of 30 seconds and a standard deviation of 3 seconds. You wish to see if the mean time ? is changed by vigorous exercise, so you have a group of nine college students exercise vigorously for 20 minutes and then complete the maze. The Test Statistic and its Distribution In example (1a) above, it took the college students...
The time needed for college students to complete a certain paper and pencil maze follows a Normal distribution, with a mean of 70 seconds and a standard deviation of 15 seconds. You wish to see if the mean time μ is changed by meditation, so you have a group of 9 college students meditate for 30 minutes and then complete the maze. Question 29 of 40> The time needed for college students to complete a certain paper and pencil maze...
5. The servicing time at the drive-through lane of a fast food restaurant follows an exponential distribution. The average servicing time is 2 minutes. (4 points) YORKVILLE BUSI 1013 statistics for Business What is the probability that it takes more than 2.5 minutes to service a customer at the drive-through lane? b. a. What percent of customers at the drive-through lane will take between 1 to 3 minutes to service? Part B 1. A simple random sample of 50 customers...
(1 point) The time needed for college students to complete a certain paper-and-pencil maze follows a normal distribution with a mean of 30 seconds and a standard deviation of 3.8 seconds. You wish to see if the mean time u is changed by vigorous exercise, so you have a group of 15 college students randomly selected exercise vigorously for 30 minutes and then complete the maze. It takes them an average of x = 28.8 seconds to complete the maze....
(1 point) The time needed for college students to complete a certain paper-and-pencil maze follows a normal distribution with a mean of 30 seconds and a standard deviation of 3.7 seconds. You wish to see if the mean time u is changed by vigorous exercise, so you have a group of 25 college students exercise vigorously for 30 minutes and then complete the maze. It takes them an average of x = 28 seconds to complete the maze. Use this...
Assume that 9 mechanics are randomly selected to measure the time (in seconds) they take in rotating a tire of a certain car model. It is known that distribution of all such times approximately normal. What is the probability that the average time of these 9 mechanics exceeded the population mean time by 5 seconds (the sample variance is 40 seconds)?
Will rate! Guppose the time between buses at a particular stop is a positively skewed random varlable with an average of 50 minutes and standard deviation of 5 minutes. Suppose the time between buses at this stop is measured for a randomly selected week, resulting in a random sample of t= 35 t mes. The average of this tampi x, is a randon an able that comes from a specific probability distribution. (ajwhich of the following is true about the...
Page 1 Question 1 Suppose we take repeated random samples of size 20 from a population with a Select all that apply. mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 8. Which of the following statements is 10 points true about the sampling distribution of the sample mean (x)? Check all that apply. A. The distribution is normal regardless of the shape of the population distribution, because the sample size is large enough. B. The distribution will be normal as...
1) A professor knows that in the past, the average amount of time spent studying the night before the first exam was 140 minutes with a normal distribution and a standard deviation of 75.1. The professor finds that the average amount of time spent studying the night before the first exam for the current class of 40 students is 165 minutes. a) Please identify the following values from the above study description. The population mean (µ) equals ________________. The population...
