Question
The taxi and takeoff time for commercial jets is a random variable x with a mean of 8 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.5 minutes. Assume that the distribution of taxi and takeoff times is approximately normal. You may assume that the jets are lined up on a runway so that one taxies and takes off immediately after the other, and that they take off one at a time on a given runway.
(a) What is the probability that for 36 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(b) What is the probability that for 36 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(c) What is the probability that for 36 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(b) What is the probability that for 36 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(c) What is the probability that for 36 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Five years ago, the mean and standard deviation of GMAT scores of MBA applicants were 550 and 60, respectively. 30 applications for this year's program were randomly selected and the GMAT scores recorded. If we assume that the distribution of GMAT scores of this year's applicants is the same as that of 5 years ago, find the probability of erroneously concluding that there is not enough evidence to supports the claim when, in fact, the true mean GMAT score is 590.
