The average monthly temperature for January follow a normal distribution, with a mean of -8 degree...
Homework Answers
Solution:
Given in the question
Average = 8
Standard deviation = 2.1
Here also given p-value = 0.15
From z score we found Z score = -1.0364
Z = (Xbar-mean)/SD
-1.0364 = (Xbar-8)/2.1
Xbar =8 - 2.18
Xbar = 5.82
So 15th percentile is 5.82 degree celcius.

At a large track meet, times in the 100-meter race follow a normal distribution with mean 11.23 seconds and standard deviation 0.46 seconds. Times in the 200-meter race follow a normal distribution with mean 20.85 seconds and standard deviation 0.87 seconds. One runner had a time of 10.67 seconds in the 100-meter race. What must his 200-meter race time be in order for him to be at the same percentile as the 100-meter race?

Fluorescent lighbulbs have lifetimes that follow a normal distribution, with an average life of 1,725 days and a standard deviation of 1,462 hours. In the production process the manufacturer draws random samples of 215 lightbulbs and determines the mean lifetime of the sample. What would be the standard deviation, in hours, of the sampling distribution? Std. dev. of sample means (1 decimal place):
