The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released hourly wage figures for various countries for workers in the manufacturing sector. The hourly wage was $30.67 for Switzerland, $20.20 for Japan, and $23.82 for the U.S. Assume that in all three countries, the standard deviation of hourly labor rates is $3.00.

a. Suppose 40 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across Switzerland and asked what their hourly wage is. What is the probability that the sample average will be between $30.00 and $31.00?

b. Suppose 34 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across Japan. What is the probability that the sample average will exceed $21.00?

c. Suppose 48 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across the United States. What is the probability that the sample average will be less than $22.85?

*(Round the values of z to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25. Round your answers to 4 decimal places, e.g. 0.2513.)*

- **a.** 0.6756
- **b.** 0.0465
- **c.** 0.0202

Step 1

 

(b)

 

Obtain the probability that the sample average will be exceeds $21.00 for a sample of 34 workers in the country Japan.

 

The probability that the sample average will be exceeds $21.00 for a sample of 34 workers is obtained below as follows:

Statistics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

The probability that the sample average will be exceeds $21.00 for a sample of 34 workers is 0.0606.
