You see an article that claims that Americans spend an average of 5 hours per day
watching television with a standard deviation of 1 hour.
a. Draw the distribution.
b. Find the probability that a randomly selected person spends between 3
and 5 hours watching television.
c. Find the percentage of people who spend more than 6 hours watching
television.
d. If a person is in the top 2.5%, what is the minimum amount of time that
the person is watching television per day?
e. Find the standardized score for a person who watches 3.8 hours of
television per day.

A newspaper article reported that people spend a mean of 7 hours per day watching TV, with a standard deviation of 1.8 hours. A psychologist would like to conduct interviews with the 10% of the population who spend the most time watching TV. She assumes that the daily time people spend watching TV is normally distributed. At least how many hours of daily TV watching are necessary for a person to be eligible for the interview? Carry your intermediate computations...

A newspaper article reported that people spend a mean of 7.5 hours per day watching TV, with a standard deviation of 1.8 hours. A psychologist would like to conduct interviews with the of the 10 % population who spend the most time watching TV. She assumes that the daily time people spend watching TV is normally distributed.

Suppose that the average person watches 6.25 hours of television per day with a standard deviation of 2.75 hours. Assuming television viewing is normally distributed, what percentage of people watch over 10 hours of television per day?
According to a certain survey, adults spend 2.35 hours per day watching television on a weekday. Assume that the standard deviation for "time spent watching television on a weekday" is 1.93 hours. If a random sample of 50 adults is obtained, describe the sampling distribution of x overbar, the mean amount of time spent watching television on a weekday. One consequence of the popularity of the Internet is that it is thought to reduce television watching. Suppose that a random...
) According to a certain survey, adults spend 2.252.25 hours per day watching television on a weekday. Assume that the standard deviation for "time spent watching television on a weekday" is 1.931.93 hours. If a random sample of 6060 adults is obtained, describe the sampling distribution of x overbarx, the mean amount of time spent watching television on a weekday. x overbarx is approximately normal with mu Subscript x overbarμxequals= 2.25 and sigma Subscript x overbarσxequals=0.2491620.249162 .

According to a 2011 report by the United States Department of Labor, civilian Americans spend 2.75 hours per day watching television. A faculty researcher, Dr. Sameer, at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) conducts a study to see whether a different average applies to Cal Poly students. Suppose that for a random sample of 100 Cal Poly students, the mean and standard deviation of hours per day spent watching TV turns out to be 3.01 and 1.97 hours, respectively. The...
(5 points, 1 point each) According to survey data by Global Webindex, people spend an average of 2 hours and 22 minutes (142 minutes) per day on social media. The sample standard deviation given was 43 minutes. Assume this data is normal distributed an answer the following questions. a. What is the probability that a randomly selected person spends more than 2 hours on social media? b. What is the probability that a randomly selected person spends exactly 90 minutes...
Suppose a study reported that the average person watched 4.35 hours of television per day. A random sample of 15 people gave the number of hours of television watched per day shown. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the amount of television watched per day last year by the average person differed from the value reported in the study? (Note: x overbarequals3.947 hours and sequals1.499 hours.) 3.0 3.4 6.2 2.4 4.1 2.5...
A recent research study reported that Americans spend an average of 3.6 hours on social media - per person per day. If the standard deviation for the number of hours of social media per day is 3 and a random sample of 145 Americans is selected for further study, answer the following questions about the sampling distribution: 1) The mean of this sample of n=145 belongs to a sampling distribution. What is the shape of this sampling distribution? 2) What...
