3. The time spent commuting from home to work for all employees of a very large company has a normal distribution with a mean of 43.4 minutes and a standard deviation of 12.1 minutes. Calculate the probability that the mean time spent commuting from home to work by a sample of 21 employees will be in between 43.26 and 49.35.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Solution :

Given that,

mean = = 43.4

standard deviation = = 12.1

n = 21

=   = 43.4

= / n = 12.1 / 21 = 2.64

P(43.26 < < 49.35)  

= P[(43.26 - 43.4) / < ( - ) / < (49.35 - 43.4) / )]

= P( -0.05 < Z < 2.25)

= P(Z < 2.25 ) - P(Z < -0.05)

Using z table,  

= 0.9878 - 0.4801

= 0.5077

You want to know how the commuting time of your employees compare to Departments competing for the same staff, so you get some survey data on average commuting times for 25 randomly selected people in your line of business. Data: 59, 74, 73, 66, 80, 84, 90, 122.5, 37.2, 50, 139.3, 39, 80, 35, 88, 34, 82, 65, 61, 63, 66, 88, 70, 79, 75 You find that the mean commuting time is 72 minutes, with a standard deviation of...

Data for the amount of time that Americans spend commuting to work each day creates a histogram that has a normal shape. The mean is 35 minutes and the standard deviation is 10 minutes. According to the Empirical Rule, which of the following is not a conclusion that we can make? a. It would be common to find a commuter who takes 43 minutes to commute to work. b. About 5% of commuters take longer than 55 minutes to commute...

-PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK- Recall that Benford's Law claims that numbers chosen from very large data files tend to have "1" as the first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Now suppose you are an auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue report involves millions of numbers in...

A Math Professor records his commuting time to work on 23 days, finds a sample mean of 12 mins 45 seconds and standard deviation of 55 seconds. Suppose a normal quintile plot suggests the population is approximately normally distributed. If we are interested in creating a 95% confidence interval for σ, the population standard deviation, then: a) What are the appropriate χ2R and χ2L values, the Right and Left Chi-square values?
