Question 1: (1 point)

A random sample of size 13 was taken from a normally distributed population with a


population mean 27 and a population standard deviation 4.
Determine the mean and standard deviation for the sampling distribution of the sample
mean.

a) The mean is:  ____________ 


b) The standard deviation is:  ____________ 
(Round your answer to 2 decimal places)
 
 

Question 2: (1 point)

The length of rock songs has mean 152 seconds and standard deviation 31 seconds.

mean length of less than 143.62 seconds.

The probability is:  ____________  %

Question 3: (1 point)

The mean weight of loads of rock is 4.24 tons with a standard deviation of 1.69 tons.
If 14 loads are chosen at random for a weight check, find the probability (as
percent)  that the mean weight of those loads is NO less than 3.852 tons. Assume that
the variable is normally distributed.

The probability is:  ____________  %


(Round your answer to the nearest whole percent)
(Omit the percent sign)
 
 
 

Question 4: (1 point)

The average age of a vehicle registered in Canada is about 98 months and the standard
deviation for the population is 24..
If a random sample of 46 vehicles is selected, find the probability (as percent) that the
mean of their age is between 101 and 105 months.

The probability is:  ____________ %


(Round your answer to the nearest whole percent)
(Omit the percent sign)

Question 7: (1 point)

In a stock portfolio selection process, a financial consultant observed the value of 71


stocks listed in the NASDAQ. The mean value of the stocks are USD 1.69 (in millions)
and the standard deviation is USD 0.16 (millions). Assuming the stocks' values are
normally distributed, determine the 90% confidence interval.

Question 8: (1 point)

 
A pharmacist is planning to estimate the mean level of a certain drug in a lab. The
pharmacist wanted the estimate to be within ±5 mg/dLi or less with 90% confidence. 
The pharmacist also believes that the standard deviation of the drug level is probably
about 40 mg/dLi.
How large a sample should the pharmacist need to take?

The farmacist needs to take a sample of:  ____________
