Question≠01
The Rocky Mountain district sales manager of Rath Publishing, Inc., a college textbookpublishing company,
claims that the sales representatives make an average of 40 salescalls per week on professors. Several reps say
that this estimate is too low. To investigate,a random sample of 28 sales representatives reveals that the mean
number of calls madelast week was 42. The standard deviation of the sample is 2.1 calls. Using the .05
significancelevel, can we conclude that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week ismore than 40?
Question≠02
The management of White Industries is considering a new method of assembling its golfcart. The present
method requires 42.3 minutes, on the average, to assemble a cart. Themean assembly time for a random
sample of 24 carts, using the new method, was 40.6minutes, and the standard deviation of the sample was 2.7
minutes. Using the .10 level ofsignificance, can we conclude that the assembly time using the new method is
faster?
Question≠03
A spark plug manufacturer claimed that its plugs have a mean life in excess of 22,100 [Link] the life
of the spark plugs follows the normal distribution. A fleet owner purchaseda large number of sets. A sample of
18 sets revealed that the mean life was 23,400 milesand the standard deviation was 1,500 miles. Is there
enough evidence to substantiate themanufacturer's claim at the .05 significance level?
Question≠04
A recent study of the hourly wages of maintenance crew members for major airlines showed that the mean
hourly salary was $20.50, with a standard deviation of $3.50. If we select a crew member at random, what is
the probability the crew member earns:
a. Between $20.50 and $24.00 per hour? .
b. More than $24.00 per hour?
c. Less than $19.00 per hour?
Question≠05
A cola-dispensing machine is set to dispense on average 7.00 ounces of cola per cup. The standard deviation is
0.10 ounces. The distribution amounts dispensed follows a normal distribution.
a. What is the probability that the machine will dispense between 7.10 and 7.25 ounces of cola?
b. What is the probability that the machine will dispense 7.25 ounces of cola or more?
c. What is the probability that the machine will dispense between 6.80 and 7.25 ounces of cola?
Question≠06
A population of unknown shape has a mean of 76. You select a sample of 50. The standard
deviation of the sample is 7. Compute the probability the sample mean is:
a. Less than 75.
b. Between 75 and 77.
c. Between 77 and 78.
d. Greater than 79.
Question≠07
A population consists of the following five values: 2, 2, 4, 4, and 8.
a. List all samples of size 2, and compute the mean of each sample.
b. Compute the mean of the distribution of sample means and the population mean. Compare the two values.
c. Compare the dispersion in the population with that of the sample means.
Question≠08
A population consists of the following five values: 12, 12, 14, 15, and 20.
a. List all samples of size 3, and compute the mean of each sample.
b. Compute the mean of the distribution of sample means and the population mean. Compare the two values.
c. Compare the dispersion in the population with that of the sample means.
