we took a sample of employees with 30 employees (n=30) in the sample. Assume that the overall average of the satisfaction level is .614, and the overall standard deviation is .254
a)
µ = 0.614
σ = 0.254
n= 30
X = 0.7
Z = (X - µ )/(σ/√n) = ( 0.7
- 0.614 ) / (
0.254 / √ 30 ) =
1.854
P(X ≥ 0.7 ) = P(Z ≥
1.85 ) = P ( Z <
-1.854 ) = 0.0318
b)
µ = 0.614
σ = 0.254
n= 30
X = 0.6
Z = (X - µ )/(σ/√n) = ( 0.6
- 0.614 ) / ( 0.254
/ √ 30 ) = -0.302
P(X ≤ 0.6 ) = P(Z ≤
-0.302 ) = 0.3814
c)
µ = 0.614
σ = 0.254
n= 30
we need to calculate probability for ,
0.50 ≤ X ≤ 0.70
X1 = 0.50 , X2 = 0.70
Z1 = (X1 - µ )/(σ/√n) = ( 0.5
- 0.614 ) / ( 0.254
/ √ 30 ) = -2.46
Z2 = (X2 - µ )/(σ/√n) = ( 0.7
- 0.614 ) / ( 0.254
/ √ 30 ) = 1.85
P ( 0.5 < X <
0.7 ) = P ( -2.5
< Z < 1.9 )
= P ( Z < 1.85 ) - P ( Z
< -2.46 ) =
0.9681657 - 0.00698 =
0.9612
d)
µ = 0.614
σ = 0.254
n= 30
proportion= 0.80
Z value at 0.8 =
0.842 (excel formula =NORMSINV(
0.80 ) )
z=(x-µ)/(σ/√n)
so, X=z * σ/√n +µ= 0.842 * 0.254 /
√ 30 + 0.614
= 0.653
