Question
The time required for an automotive center to complete an oil change service on an automobile approximately follows a normal distribution, with a mean of 19 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.5 minutes.
(a) The automotive center guarantees customers that the service will take no longer than 20
minutes. If it does take longer, the customer will receive the service for half-price. What percent of customers receive the service for half-price?
minutes. If it does take longer, the customer will receive the service for half-price. What percent of customers receive the service for half-price?
(b) If the automotive center does not want to give the discount to more than 4% of its customers, how long should it make the guaranteed time limit?

- The weights of 1,000 men in a certain town follow a normal distribution with a mean of 150 pounds and a standard deviation of 15 pounds. From the data, we can conclude that the number of men weighing more than 165 pounds is about , and the number of men weighing less than 135 pounds is about .arrow_forwardIn nutrition, the recommended daily allowance of vitamins is a number set by the government to guide an individual's daily vitamin intake. Actually, vitamin needs vary drastically from person to person, but the needs are closely approximated by a normal curve. To calculate the recommended daily allowance, the government first finds the standard deviation and the average need for vitamins among people in the population. The recommended daily allowance is then defined as the mean plus 2.7 times the standard deviation. What fraction of the population will receive adequate amounts of vitamins under this plan? Click here to see page 1 of the table for areas under the standard normal curve. Click here to see page 2 of the table for areas under the standard normal curve. The fraction of the population that will receive adequate amounts of vitamins under the given plan is (Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth as needed.)arrow_forwardAccording to the Empirical Rule, in a Normal Distribution of data you will have percent of the data within 1 standard deviation of the mean, percent of the data within 2 standard deviation of the mean, and percent of the data within 3 standard deviation of the mean.arrow_forward
- A Scenario: Jimmy store sells large tins of Tom Tucker Coffee. The deli uses a periodic review system. Inventory is checked every 10 days which more orders are needed for tins. Order lead time is 3 days. Average demand is 7 tins, so average demand during the reorder period and order lead time (13) is 91 tins. Standard deviation of demand during the same 13 day period is 17 tins.1. Calculate the restocking level ( Assume the desired level is 90%)2. Suppose standard deviation of demand during the 13-day period drops to 4 tins. What happened to restocking level? Explain why?3. Draw a saw-tooth diagram. Beginning inventory level is equal to restocking level and the demand rate is a constant 7 tins per day. What is the safety stock level? What is the average inventory level?arrow_forwardIn Professor Krugman’s economics course, the correlation between the students’ total scores prior to the final examination and their final‑examination scores is ?=0.5.r=0.5.

- Two chemical companies can supply a raw material. The concentration of a particular element in this material is important. The mean concentration for both suppliers is the same, but you suspect that the variability in concentration may differ for the two companies. The standard deviation of concentration in a random sample of n₁ = 10 batches produced by company 1 is s₁ = 4.7 grams per liter, and for company 2, a random sample of n₂ = 16 batches yield s₂ = 5.8 grams per liter. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the two populations variances differ? Use a = 0.05. a. Because 0.321 < 0.657 <3.77, fail to reject the null hypothesis b. Because 0.265 < 0.657 <3.12, fail to reject the null hypothesis c. Because 0.386 < 0.657 <3.01, fail to reject the null hypothesis d.
