- Household incomes in a certain region are skewed right with mean $57,550 and standard deviation $16,200. The probability that the mean of a random sample of 4400 household incomes would differ from the population mean by $500 or more is about__?arrow_forwardTeenagers who do not sleep well or long enough may have a higher risk of raised blood pressure, which could lead to cardiovascular disease later in life. The odds of raised blood pressure increase 3.5 times for those who have trouble falling asleep at night or who wake up too early and 2.5 times for those with sleeping periods of fewer than 6.5 hours. A health psychologist is interested in studying teenagers who have diastolic blood pressure scores in the top 20%. Diastolic blood pressure scores for teenagers follow a normal distribution with μ = 72 and σ = 10. Use the Distributions tool to help answer the questions that follow. The minimum z-score necessary to be in the top 20% of the diastolic blood pressure distribution is z =0.842 . Use this z-score to determine X, the corresponding diastolic blood pressure score. X = 80.42 This score, X, is the 80th percentile of diastolic blood pressure scores among teenagers. The percentile rank of this score is 80%…arrow_forwardLast year, a person wrote 118 checks. Let the random variable x represent the number of checks he wrote in one day, and assume that it has a Poisson distribution. What is the mean number of checks written per day? What is the standard deviation? What is the variance?arrow_forward
- A study indicates that 18 to 24-year olds spend a mean of 135 minutes watching video on their smartphones per month. Assume that the amount of time watching video on a smartphone per month is normally distributed and that the standard deviation is 10 minutes. What is the probability that an 18- to 24-year-old spends less than 130 minutes watching video on his or her smartphone per month?

- Dementia is the loss of the intellectual and social abilities severe enough to interfere with judgment, behavior, and daily functioning. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia. Researchers explored the experience and struggles of people diagnosed with dementia and their families. Research has shown that the mean age at diagnosis of all people with early-onset dementia is 55 years, and the population standard deviation is 6.8 years.yt What is the probability a single person will be diagnosed with early-onset dementia is less than 50 years? Do we know if the sample mean of samples of size 20 is normally distributed or not? Explain.arrow_forwardShaver Manufacturing Inc. offers dental insurance to its employees. A recent study by the human resource director shows the annual cost per employee per year followed the normal probability distribution, with a mean of $1,280 and a standard deviation of $420 per year. Use Appendix B.3. What probability of the employees costs between $1,500 and $2,000 per year? (Round z-score computation to 2 decimal places and your final answer to 4 decimal places.)arrow_forwardThe MBA program at Dover College has an enrollment of 160 students with an average age of 34.7 years old and a standard deviation 5.2 years.
