- A bank's loan officer rates applicants for credit. The ratings are normally distributed with a mean of 200 and a standard deviation of 50. If 64 applications are randomly selected, what is the probability that the mean credit rating of these 64 applicants will be between 205 and 275. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

You work at Vogue Magazine, and would like to interview some women about how shoes fit. You take a random sample of 10 women. What is the probability that the 10 women you sampled had an average shoe size that is less than 8?arrow_forwardThe cost of textbooks is normally distributed with a mean of $208. You do not know the population standard deviation, but you estimate the sample standard deviation to be $45.What is the probability that from a sample of 14 textbooks, their average cost will be between $226 and $262?

- In the class of 2019, more than 1.6 million students took the SAT. The distribution of scores on the math section (out of 800) is approximately normal with a mean of 528 and standard deviation of 117. What proportion of students earned scores between 500 and 600 on the SAT math test?arrow_forwardThe cost of textbooks is normally distributed with a mean of $222. You do not know the population standard deviation, but you know the sample standard deviation is $46.What is the probability that from a sample of 15 textbooks, their average cost will be less than $230? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)arrow_forwardResearchers wants to determine if low-fat diets or low-carb diets are more effective for weight loss. Suppose 100 people were placed on a low-fat diet and at the end of 3 months the mean weight loss was 10.5 lbs witha standard deviation of 12.5 lbs. There were another 100 people placed on a low-carb diet and at the end of 3 months the mean weight loss was 16.5 lbs with a standard deviation of 10.2 lbs. Does mean weight lossdiffer between the two diets? What are the hypotheses??arrow_forward
- The salary of a recent graduate from a northeast university with an MBA follows a normal distribution with a mean starting salary of $78,000 with a standard deviation of $15,000. You apply the normal model and discover that approximately 7.1% receive a starting salary of more than $100,000. A university administrator surveyed a random sample of 450 of their recent graduates that earned an MBA. How many of these graduates would you expect to receive a starting salary of more than $100,000? Explain.arrow_forwardSteel bolts have a mean diameter of 128 millimeters, and a standard deviation of 5 millimeters. If a random sample of 39 steel bolts is selected, what is the probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by greater than 1.8 millimeters?
