An electronic product takes an average of 8 hours to move through an assembly line. If the standard deviation of 0.7 hours, what is the probability that an item will take between 7.3 and 8.3 hours to move through the assembly line? Do not round until you get your your final answer. Answer= (Round your answer to 4 decimal places, and report a probability value between 0 and 1.)

Expert Solution

Let a random variable X denote the No. of hours an electronic product takes to move through an assembly line. Assuming that X is approximately normlayy distributed:

Defining the Standard Normal variable:

To find:

..................(Rounding the upper Z value (8.3-8)/ 0.7 )

From Standard Normal table:

= 0.66640 - 0.15866

= 0.50774

To get a more exact figure (without rounding the upper Z value (8.3-8)/ 0.7 ), we may use the excel function:

The IRS reports it takes an average of 40 hours to understand, complete, and mail form 1040. The population standard deviation is equal to six hours. With the institution of email filing the IRS now believes completion time will change. A sample of 100 taxpayers revealed the mean time to file was 39.25 hours. At the 0.05 significance level, can we conclude that e-filing caused the time to file taxes to decrease from the 40 hour average? State the null...
