1.

For a type of power tool, the useful life (before they break down and have to be replaced) has a population mean µ = 72 months with a population standard deviation σ = 20 months. A random sample size n = 36 is taken. What is the probability that the sample mean is less than 68 months?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Solution :

Given that,

mean = = 72

standard deviation = = 20

n = 36

= 72

=  / n = 20/ 36=3.33

P( <68 ) = P[( - ) / < (68-72) /3.33 ]

= P(z <-1.20 )

Using z table  

= 0.1151

Let X = tool life (measured in some unit of time) of the current tool type. Let Y = tool life of the new tool type being considered. The standard deviations of X and Y are both equal to 2. Through tests the mean tool life of Y was shown to be statistically significantly greater than X at a significance level of 0.05. The mean of X is estimated to be 10, and the mean of Y is estimated to...
