The average playing time of compact discs in a large collection is 35 minutes, and the standard deviation is 3 minutes.

(a) What value is 1 standard deviation above the mean? 1 standard deviation below the mean? What values are 2 standard deviations away from the mean?

1 standard deviation above the mean
1 standard deviation below the mean
2 standard deviations above the mean
2 standard deviations below the mean    

b) Without assuming anything about the distribution of times, at least what percentage of the times are between 29 and 41 minutes? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)
At least   %

(c) Without assuming anything about the distribution of times, what can be said about the percentage of times that are either less than 26 minutes or greater than 44 minutes? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)
No more than   %

(d) Assuming that the distribution of times is normal, about what percentage of times are between 29 and 41 minutes? (Round the answers to two decimal places, if needed.)
  %

Less than 26 min or greater than 44 min?
  %

Compact discs and long-playing records are made from similar materials. The former have a diameter of about 12 cm, and the latter, about 32 cm. When in use, records spin at 33.333 rev/min, and compact discs spin at, say, 410 rev/min. Ignoring the holes in both objects and assuming that a compact disc has two thirds the thickness of a record and 0.90 of its density, what is the ratio of the angular momentum of a compact disc in use...

The average time spent playing one competitive game in Counter Strike is μ = 50 minutes and standard deviation σ = 7 minutes. I didn’t believe it takes that long so I went ahead and played 100 competitive games for my sample and had an average time of 51 minutes. Use α = 0.05. Can I conclude that the average time spent playing competitive games in Counter Strike is any different that 50 minutes? You can use either Critical Value...
