Yoonie is a personnel manager in a large corporation. Each month she must review 16of the employees. From past experience, she has found that the reviews take her approximately four hours each to do with a population standard deviation of 1.2hours. Let Χ be the random variable representing the time it takes her to complete one review. Assume Χ is normally distributed. Let x-be the random variable representing the meantime to complete the 16reviews. Assume that the 16reviews represent a random set of reviews.

Find the 95th percentile for the meantime to complete one month's reviews. Sketch the graph.

a.

b. The 95th Percentile =____________

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The95thpercentile is4.49hours and the graph is given below:

b)The value of 95th percentile for the meantime to complete one month review is 4.49hours.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information (part a)

According to the given details, the manager reviews 16employees each month. Thus, the meantime for each review is 4hours and the standard deviation is 1.2hours and the sample size is 16.

02

Explanation (part a)

Let's considerk=95thPrecentile,

The graph fork=95*Precentile is given as below:

In the above graph, the shaded area represents probability p(x<k)=0.95

03

Given Information (part b)

The 95th Percentile =____________

04

Step 5: Explanation (part b)

Let's use Ti-83 calculator to compute the 95th percentile for the meantime to meet one monthly review.

For this, click on localid="1648811383788" 2nd,then DISTR, and then scroll down to the inventory option and enter the provided details.

After that we need to click on ENTER button on the calculator to have the desired result.

05

Explanation (part b)

The screenshot is given below:

Therefore, the value of 95th percentile for the meantime to complete one month review is4.49hours.
