(a) (b) (c) (d) P( X < 95) = P(Z < 2.50) = 0.0062 P(95 < X < 97.5) = P( 2.50 < Z < 1.25) = 0.1056 0.0062 = 0.0994 P( X > 102.2) = P(Z > 1.10) = 1.0 0.8643 = 0.1357 P( X > A) = P(Z > 0.39) = 0.65

X = 100 0.39(

10 ) = 99.22 25

Because the population diameter of Ping-Pong balls is approximately normally distributed, the sampling distribution of samples of 16 will also be approximately normal. P( X < 1.28) = P(Z < 2.00) = 0.0228 P(1.31 < X < 1.33) = P(1.00 < Z < 3.00) = 0.99865 0.8413 = 0.1574 P(A < X < B) = P( 0.84 < Z < 0.84) = 0.60 Lower bound: X = 1.30 0.84(0.01) = 1.2916 Upper bound: X = 1.30 + 0.84(0.01) = 1.3084 H0: = 1.00. The mean amount of paint per can is one gallon. H1: 1.00. The mean amount of paint per can differs from one gallon. Decision rule: Reject H0 if Z < 2.58 or Z > + 2.58. Test statistic: Z =

3.

Decision: Since Zcalc = 1.77 is between the critical bounds of 2.58, do not reject H0. There is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean amount of paint per one-gallon can differs from one gallon. 4.

H 0 : 400 The mean life of the batteries is not more than 400 hours. H1 : > 400 The mean life of the batteries is more than 400 hours. Decision rule: Reject H 0 if t > 1.7823

X 473.46-400 = =1.2567 s / n 210.77/ 13 Decision: Since t < 1.7823, do not reject H 0 . There is not enough evidence to
Test statistic: t = conclude that the mean life of the batteries is more than 400 hours.
