- a well known university in north carolina wants to remove the highest paid administrations in their RF department since they have not been profitable in the past five years. There are 48 people in the department and 6 need to be removed. Assuming their annual wages are normally distributed with a mean of 59,400 and a standard deviation of 3,400 find the maximum annual wage an administrator in the RF department will have not to be removed.

To demonstrate that their smokestacks are releasing pollutants below the mandated limit of 5 parts per billion pollutants, REM Industries collects a random sample of 23 readings. The mean pollutant level for the sample is 4.45 parts per billion with a population standard deviation of 1.3 parts per billion. Do the data support the claim that the average pollutants produced by REM Industries are below the mandated level at a 0.01 significance level?

State the Empirical Rule. A histogram of the data indicates that the data follow a bell-shaped distribution. Use the Empirical Rule to determine the percentage of gas stations that have prices within three standard deviations of the mean. Determine the percentage of gas stations that have prices between $2.46 and $2.74, according to the Empirical Rule. Explain your calculations. Would a gas price of $2.99 be considered unusual in the statistical sense? Why or why not?arrow_forward
