In: Statistics and Probability
A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally distributed length, with a mean of 5.8 inches, and standard deviation of 0.9 inches. If 17 items are chosen at random, what is the probability that their mean length is less than 6.1 inches?
A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally
distributed lifespan, with a mean of 11.3 years, and standard
deviation of 3.3 years.
If you randomly purchase 7 items, what is the probability that
their mean life will be longer than 11 years?
A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a
mean of 725 grams and a standard deviation of 19 grams.
If you pick 15 fruit at random, what is the probability that their
mean weight will be between 708 grams and 713 grams
A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally
distributed lifespan, with a mean of 13.5 years, and standard
deviation of 2.9 years.
If 6 items are picked at random, 2% of the time their mean life
will be less than how many years?
Give your answer to one decimal place.
A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a
mean of 240 grams and a standard deviation of 35 grams.
If you pick 28 fruits at random, then 17% of the time, their mean
weight will be greater than how many grams?
Give your answer to the nearest gram.
