 Z - distribution for sample mean
Question
The average cost of a one-bedroom apartment in a town is $550 per month. What is the probability of randomly
selecting a sample of 50 one-bedroom apartments in this town and getting a sample mean of less than $530 if the
population standard deviation is $100?

Question
In a particular area of the Northeast, an estimated 75% of the homes use heating oil as the principal heating fuel during
the winter. A random telephone survey of 150 homes is taken in an attempt to determine whether this figure is correct.
Suppose 120 of the 150 homes surveyed use heating oil as the principal heating fuel. What is the probability of getting a
sample proportion this large or larger if the population estimate is true?

Question
A survey of 77 commercial airline flights of under 2 hours resulted in a sample average late time for a flight of 2.48
minutes. The population standard deviation was 12 minutes. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average time
that a commercial flight of under 2 hours is late. What is the point estimate? What does the interval tell about whether
the average flight is late?

Question
A study is conducted in a company that employs 800 engineers. A random sample of 50 engineers reveals that the average
sample age is 34.3 years. Historically, the population standard deviation of the age of the company’s engineers is
approximately 8 years. Construct a 98% confidence interval to estimate the average age of all the engineers in this company

Question
According to a survey by Topaz Enterprises, a travel auditing company, the average error by travel agents is \$128. Suppose this
figure was obtained from a random sample of 41 travel agents and the sample standard deviation is \$21. What is the point
estimate of the national average error for all travel agents? Compute a 98% confidence interval for the national average error
based on these sample results. Assume the travel agent errors are normally distributed in the population. How wide is the
interval? Interpret the interval.

Question
A movie theater has had a poor accounting system. The manager has no idea how many large containers of popcorn are sold per movie showing. She knows that the amounts vary by day of
the week and hour of the day. However, she wants to estimate the overall average per movie showing. To do so, she randomly selects 12 movie performances and counts the number of large
containers of popcorn sold between 30 minutes before the movie showing and 15 minutes after the movie showing. The sample average was 43.7 containers, with a variance of 228.
Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the mean number of large containers of popcorn sold during a movie showing. Assume the number of large containers of popcorn sold per
movie is normally distributed in the population. Use this information to construct a 98% confidence interval to estimate the population variance.

Question
A national survey of insurance offices was taken, resulting in a random sample of 245 companies. Of these 245 companies, 189 responded that
they were going to purchase new software for their offices in the next year. Construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the population
proportion of insurance offices that intend to purchase new software during the next year.
