- Suppose that the distribution of the lifetime of a car battery produced by a certain car company is well approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of 1900 hours and variance 104. What is the approximate probability that a batch of 100 car batteries will contain at least 20 whose lifetimes are less than 1801 hours?arrow_forwardSuppose that a recent article stated that the mean time spent in jail by a first–time convicted burglar is 3.5 years. A study was then done to see if the mean time has increased in the new century. A random sample of 45 first-time convicted burglars in a recent year was picked. The mean length of time in jail from the survey was 3 years with a standard deviation of 1.4 years. Suppose that it is somehow known that the population standard deviation is 1.1. If you were conducting a hypothesis test to determine if the mean length of jail time has increased, what would the null and alternative hypotheses be? The distribution of the population is normal.arrow_forwardSuppose that a distribution of 300 items has mean 115 and standard deviation 4. Find the z-score of the item x = 121arrow_forward
- Assume the random variable X is normally distributed with mean 50 and standard deviation of 7. What is the 86th percentile?arrow_forwardLeave all probabilities as percentages, define x on all problems with data. Simple random samples of high interest (8.9%) and low interest (6.3%) mortgages were obtained. For the 40 high interest mortgages, the borrowers had a mean FICO credit score of 594.8 and a standard deviation of 12.2. For the 40 low interest mortgages, borrowers had a mean FICO credit score of 785.2 and a standard deviation of 16.3. Use an alpha level of 0.01, and a two tailed test of hypothesis to test the claim that the mean FICO score borrowers with a high interest mortgage is the same as the mean FICO score of borrowers with the low interest mortgage.arrow_forwardWhen X is a binomial random variable, the standard deviation of the probability distribution = the square root of npq If X is a binomial random variable, where there are 196 trials, and p = 0.252 find the standard deviation.arrow_forward
