Assume the weights of 10 year old children are normally distributed with a mean of 90 pounds and a variance of 36.

a. What is the standard deviation of the sampling mean for a sample of size 100?

b. What is the 95% confidence interval for this distribution?

c. What is the 99% confidence interval for this distribution?

A random sample of 225 statistics tutoring sessions was selected and the number of students absent at each session was recorded. The mean was 11.6 and the standard deviation was 4.1. Estimate the number of absences per session. (Remember: What CL do we default to when not specified?)

DataSpan, Inc., automated its plant at the start of the current year and installed a flexible manufacturing system. The company is also evaluating its suppliers and moving toward Lean Production. Many adjustment problems have been encountered, including problems relating to performance measurement. After much study, the company has decided to use the performance measures below, and it has gathered data relating to these measures for the first four months of operations.

Month

1 2 3 4
Throughput time (days) ? ? ? ?
Delivery cycle time (days) ? ? ? ?
Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) ? ? ? ?
Percentage of on-time deliveries 75% 76% 81% 88%
Total sales (units) 10,470 10,450 10,560 10,510

Management has asked for your help in computing throughput time, delivery cycle time, and MCE. The following average times have been logged over the last four months:

Average per Month (in days)

1 2 3 4
Move time per unit 0.7 0.5 0.7 0.3
Process time per unit 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.3
Wait time per order before start of production 9.4 8.0 5.0 4.0
Queue time per unit 3.4 3.6 2.3 1.7
Inspection time per unit 0.5 0.3 0.6 0.6

Required:

1-a. Compute the throughput time for each month. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

1-b. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for each month. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

1-c. Compute the delivery cycle time for each month. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

3-a. Refer to the move time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume that in month 5 the move time, process time, and so forth, are the same as in month 4, except that through the use of Lean Production the company is able to completely eliminate the queue time during production. Compute the new throughput time and MCE. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

3-b. Refer to the move time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume in month 6 that the move time, process time, and so forth, are again the same as in month 4, except that the company is able to completely eliminate both the queue time during production and the inspection time. Compute the new throughput time and MCE. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

One​ year, the mean age of an inmate on death row was 39.3 years. A sociologist wondered whether the mean age of a​ death-row inmate has changed since then. She randomly selects 32 death-row inmates and finds that their mean age is 38.7​, with a standard deviation of 9.5. Construct a​ 95% confidence interval about the mean age. What does the interval​ imply?

Choose the correct hypotheses.

Construct a​ 95% confidence interval about the mean age. With​ 95% confidence, the mean age of a death row inmate is between__ years and ___nothing years. ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)

What does the interval​ imply?

A.Since the mean age from the earlier year is not contained in the​ interval, there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean age had changed.

B.Since the mean age from the earlier year is contained in the​ interval, there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean age had changed.

C.Since the mean age from the earlier year is contained in the​ interval, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean age had changed.
