Textbook Question

Chapter 7.5, Problem 21E

The average full-sized front-loading Energy Star clothes washer uses 15 gallons of water per load (greenbuildingadvisor.com, December 4, 2015). Assume that the population standard deviation for the number of gallons of water used to wash a load by these machines is 3.0.

What is the probability that a random sample of 90 loads washed in a full-sized front-loading Energy Star clothes washer will provide a sample mean gallons of water used that is within one-half gallon of the population mean of 15 gallons?
What is the probability that a random sample of 50 loads washed in a full-sized front-loading Energy Star clothes washer will provide a sample mean gallons of water used that is at least three-quarters of a gallon greater than the population mean of 15 gallons?
What is the probability that a random sample of 75 loads washed in a full-sized front-loading Energy Star clothes washer will provide a sample mean gallons of water used that is no more than one-quarter of a gallon less than the population mean of 15 gallons?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
