Suppose that the time duration of a minor surgery is approximately normally distributed with mean equal to 800 seconds and a standard deviation of 40 seconds. Find the probability that a random sample of 16 surgeries will have average time duration of less than 775 seconds. Use the central limit theorem 9-
Suppose a geyser has a mean time between eruptions of 73 minutes. If the interval of time between the eruptions is normally distributed with standard deviation 18 minutes, answer the following questions. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected time interval between eruptions is longer than 81 minutes? The probability that a randomly selected time interval is longer than 81 minutes is approximately ___ (b) What is the probability that a random sample of 13 time...
Every year, 1,000 engineers compete in a sports car road race. The mean (average) finishing time is 55 minutes, with a standard deviation of 10 minutes. Justin and Cindy completed the race in 61 and 51 minutes, respectively. Barry and Lisa had finishing times with Z-scores of -0.3 and 0.7, respectively. Since the Z-score is the number of standard deviations above the mean, then the lowest Z-score corresponds to the fastest car. List the drivers, fastest to the slowest, based...
The mean playing time for a large collection of compact discs is 34 minutes, and the standard deviation is 4 minutes. (a) What value (in minutes) is 1 standard deviation above the mean? One standard deviation below the mean? What values are 2 standard deviations away from the mean? 1 standard deviation above the mean 1 standard deviation below the mean 2 standard deviations above the mean 2 standard deviations below the mean (b) Assuming that the distribution of times...
The Chiemsee Knee Replacement Clinic (CKRC) is a sports clinic located at the northern edge of the German Alps. It specializes in knee replacements for skiers who come to CKRC from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy. The clinic currently has one operating room (OR). However, since the clinic has dramatically more demand than capacity, the management team contemplates investing in a second OR. A lean consulting firm, however, suggests that before going ahead with installing new capacity, the clinic should...
13. The mean time waiting for a stop light to turn green is 4 minutes with a standard deviation of 0.75 minutes. i. What is the probability that a randomly selected car will wait less than 3.5 minutes? What is the probability that a randomly selected sample of 10 cars will have a mean wait time less than 3.5 minutes?
View Current Attempt in Progress An article in Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy (2005, Vol. 13, pp. 273-279), considered arthroscopic meniscal repair with an absorbable screw. Results showed that for tears greater than 25 millimeters, 13 of 19 repairs were successful while for shorter tears. 22 of 31 repairs were successful. (a) Is there evidence that the success rate is greater for longer tears? Use a = 0.05. What is the P-value? (b) Calculate a one-sided 95% confidence bound on...

Complete parts (a) through ) (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected time interval between eruption is longer than 118 minutes? The probability that a randomly selected me interval is longer than 118 minutes approximately (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (6) What is the probability that a random...
Suppose a geyser has a mean time between eruptions of 95 minutes. If the interval of time between the eruptions is normally distributed with standard deviation 27 minutes, answer the following questions a) What is the probability that a randomly selected time interval between eruption is longer than 10 minutes? The probability that a randomly selected time interval is longer than 106 minutes is approximately Round to four decimal places as needed) (b) What is the probability that a random...
Suppose a geyser has a mean time between eruptions of 62 minutes. Let the interval of time between the eruptions be normally distributed with standard deviation 24 minutes. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected time interval between eruptions is longer than 72 minutes? The probability that a randomly selected time interval is longer than 72 minutes is approximately 0.3372. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (b) What is the probability...
