CNAE, an all-news AM station, finds that the distribution of the lengths of time listeners are tuned to the station follows the normal distribution. The mean of the distribution is 12.6 minutes and the standard deviation is 4.1 minutes. Refer to the table in Appendix B.1. What is the probability that a particular listener will tune in: (Round the intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and the final answers to 4 decimal places.)  

a. More than 20 minutes?

Probability           

b. For 20 minutes or less?

Probability           



c. Between 10 and 12 minutes?

  
Probability           

Solutions

Expert Solution

Solution :

Given that ,

mean = = 12.6

standard deviation = = 4.1

(a)

P(x > 20) = 1 - P(x < 20)

= 1 - P((x - ) / < (20 - 12.6) / 4.1)

= 1 - P(z < 1.80)

= 1 - 0.9641   

= 0.0359

Probability = 0.0359

(b)

P(x 20) = P((x - ) / (20 - 12.6) / 4.1)

= P(z 1.80)

= 0.9641

Probability = 0.9641

(c)

P(10 < x < 12) = P((10 - 12.6)/ 4.1) < (x - ) /  < (12 - 12.6) / 4.1) )

= P(-0.63 < z < -0.15)

= P(z < -0.15) - P(z < -0.63)

= 0.4404 - 0.2643

= 0.1761

Probability = 0.1761

An FM rock station claims that 85% of all its listeners are college students. A statistician decides to test this claim against the suspicion that the percentage is too high. A random sample of 2000 listeners is selected from the population of all listeners and it is determined that 1655 are college students. Perform a hypothesis test to answer the question: Do the sample results support the statistician’s claim at α = 1 %? I. State the hypotheses (in words...
