Chapter 5, Problem 64SE
A survey showed that the average commuter spends about 26 minutes on a one-way door-to-door trip from home to work. In addition, 5% of commuters reported a one-way commute of more than one hour (Bureau of Transportation Statistics website, January 12, 2004).
- a. If 20 commuters are surveyed on a particular day, what is the
probability that 3 will report a one-way commute of more than one hour? - b. If 20 commuters are surveyed on a particular day, what is the probability that none will report a one-way commute of more than one hour?
- c. If a company has 2000 employees, what is the expected number of employees who have a one-way commute of more than one hour?
- d. If a company has 2000 employees, what is the variance and standard deviation of the number of employees who have a one-way commute of more than one hour?

- Total quality management (TQM) is a management approach designed to achieve continuous improvement in the quality of a company's products or services. Fundamental to the TQM approach is the need to create an awareness of quality at all levels of the organization. A researcher in a business school would like to compare the performance of companies that have implemented TQM programs with that of companies that have not. One performance measure is net income over sales (NI/S), an indicator of a company's profitability. The researcher would like to use the Wilcoxon rank sum test to determine whether the change in average NI/S is significantly different between companies with TQM implementation and companies without. Six companies were randomly selected from among those that implemented a TQM program over the same 3-year period, and four were randomly selected from among those that did not. The researcher computed each company's average quarterly NI/S for a 2-year period before the 3-year…arrow_forwardFor the following questions (a - 1 ), assume that a population of frogs has an average weight of = 23 grams and a standard deviation (° ) equal to 1 gram.
