Ahmad does a part-time job as a cashier at JayaGrocery since last year. He obtained an average wage of RM10.50 an hour with a standard deviation of RM1.50. If the wages are approximately
(Note: 2 dp = 2 decimal places)
(a) What percentage of Ahmad receive wages between RM9.50 and RM12.0 an hour inclusive?
The z values corresponding to X = 9.50 is Answer (2 dp)
The z values corresponding to X = 12.0 is Answer (1 dp)
Percentage = Answer% (1 dp)
(b) The highest 5% of the hourly wages are greater than what amount?
P(Z = ?) = 1 - Answer = Answer (2 dp)
a = Answer (2 dp)
X = Answer (1 dp)

- There are two samples of children taken from a population. In the first sample, mean of age of 20 children is 8.5 years with standard deviation 3 years. In the second sample mean of age of 30 children is 7 years with standard deviation 2 years. If we combine these samples, what are the mean and the standard deviation of the combined sample? Age in which sample is more spread and why?

However, the standard deviation of that age remains constant at around 2.1 years. A survey of 38 smokers of this generation was done to see if the mean starting age is at least 19. The sample mean was 18.1 with a sample standard deviation of 1.3. Do the data support the claim at the 5% level? (i) Alpha (Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal.)? =arrow_forward
