Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We have,

X~N(60,9)

sample size n =25

The random variable of averages isX-and the Random variable of sums is ΣX

02

Explanation Part (a)

The graph is represented,

03

Explanation Part (b)

Given,

The mean isμx=60 and the standard deviation isσx=9

sample size n = 25

Using,

X¯~Nμx,σxnwe get X¯~N60,925

=X-~N(60,1.8)

04

Explanation Part (c)

The probability of the distribution X-~N(60,1.8)be P(X-<60)

Using a calculator we get,

P(X¯<60)=Normalcdf(60,60,1.8)

=0.50

05

Explanation Part (d)

We know,

sample size n = 25and X~N(60,9)

For X-the 30thpercentile is,

P(X-<k)=0.30

X-=invnorm(0.30,60,1.8)=59.06

06

Explanation Part (e)

Sample size n = 25for distribution X~N(60,9)

Calculating role="math" localid="1652457644091" P(56<X-<62)using a calculator,

=P(56<X¯<60)=Normalcdf(56,60,60,1.8)=0.853

07

Explanation Part (f)

Sample size n = 25for distribution X-~N(60,1.8)

Calculating P(18<X-<58)using a calculator,

P(18<X¯<58)=Normalcdf(18,58,60,1.8)=0.133

08

Explanation Part (g)

Sample size n = 25

standard deviation σx=9

mean μx=60

Calculating the mean of the sums μx,

=nμx=25×60=1500

Calculating the standard deviation of sums σx,

role="math" localid="1652458063627" =σx(n)=9×25=45

Hence the distribution isX~N(1500,45)

09

Explanation Part (h)

The minimum value for the upper quartile for the sum is,

X~N(1500,45)

The upper quartile is 75thpercentile, Using calculator we get,

=invnorm(0.75,1500,45)=1530.35

10

Explanation Part (i)

Using a calculator we find P1400<X<1550,

=normalcdf(1400,1550,1500,45)=0.853

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 =____________
