Exercise #1

1. Obtain a List of All Full-Time Employees.


2. Assign a Unique Number.
3. Use a Random Number Generator.
4. Select the Corresponding Employees.

Exercise #2

Population size = 100,000

Sampling interval = 200

So, the sample size would be:

100,000 / 200 = 500

Therefore, the sample size would be 500.

Exercise #3

Sample size = 75

Sampling interval = 11
So, the estimated population size is:

75 * 11 = 825

Therefore, the population is approximately 825.

Exercise #4

Under 18: 250 * 0.22 = 55

18-25: 250 * 0.18 = 45

26-50: 250 * 0.36 = 90

51-65: 250 * 0.10 = 25

Over 65: 250 * 0.14 = 35

Therefore, the researcher should approximately sample:

55 people under 18

45 people aged 18-25

90 people aged 26-50

25 people aged 51-65

35 people over 65

Exercise #5

- a.(P(Z < 1) = 0.8413

- b.(P(0 < Z < 1.25) = 0.3944

- c.(P(-1 < Z < 1) = 0.6826

- d.(P(Z > 1.58) = 0.0571

- e.(P(Z > -2.35) = 0.9906


Exercise #6

1.μ= np = 800 * 0.02 = 16

σ = √(np(1-p)) = 3.96

z = (x - μ) / σ = -3.03

P(Z > -3.03) ≈=1 - P(Z < -3.03) =1 - 0.0013 = 0.9987

Therefore, the probability that the defective rate is greater than 4% is approximately 0.9987.

2.If a random sample of 800 components has a defective rate of 4%, it suggests that the
actual defective rate on the assembly line might be higher than the historical 2% rate.

Exercise #7

1.μ = np = 600 * 0.5 = 300

σ = 12.25

z = (x - μ) / σ = -2.44

P(Z < -2.44) =0.0073

Therefore, the probability of less than 45% satisfaction in a random sample of 600 customers
is approximately 0.0073.

2.If in a random sample of 600 customers, 270 express satisfaction, this suggests that the
actual satisfaction rate might be lower than the claimed 50%.

Exercise #8

1. Z = (X - μ) / σ = (12 - 10) / 3 = 0.67

P(Z > 0.67) ≈ 0.2514

Therefore, approximately 25.14% of students consume more than 12 pizzas per month.

2. Z = (X - μ) / σ = (275 - 250) / 15 ≈ 1.67


P(Z > 1.67) ≈ 0.0475

Therefore, the probability that in a random sample of 25 students more than 275 pizzas are
consumed is approximately 0.0475.

Exercise #9

Z = (X - μ) / σ = (4750 + 100 - 4750) / 247.49 =0.40

P(Z > 0.40) = 0.3446

Therefore, the probability that the sample mean baggage weight will exceed the 100-pound
limit is approximately 0.3446.

Exercise #10

1. μ = np = 565 * 0.54 ≈ 304.1

Standard Deviation (σ) = √(np(1-p)) = 11.78

z = (x - μ) / σ = (339 - 304.1) / 11.78 =2.95

P(Z > 2.95) = 0.0016

Therefore, the probability that 339 or more companies outsourced is approximately 0.0016.

2.z = (x - μ) / σ = (288 - 304.1) / 11.78 = -1.37

P(Z > -1.37) =1 - P(Z < -1.37) = 1 - 0.0853 = 0.9147

Therefore, the probability that 288 or more companies outsourced is approximately 0.9147.

Exercise #11

1. Standard Error (SE) = σ / √n = 0.18 / √36 = 0.03

Z = (X - μ) / SE = (5.97 - 6.05) / 0.03 = -2.67

P(Z < -2.67) = 0.0038


Therefore, the probability that the mean weight of the sample is less than 5.97 ounces is
approximately 0.0038.

2.If the random sample of 36 cans produced a mean weight less than 5.97 ounces, it would
suggest that the manufacturer's claim about the mean net weight of 6.05 ounces might be
inaccurate or exaggerated.

Exercise #12

1. Z = (X - μ) / σ = (120 - 117) / 5.2 ≈ 0.58

P(Z > 0.58) ≈ 0.2808

Therefore, the probability that one selected subcomponent is longer than 120 cm is
approximately 0.2808.

2.SE = σ / √n = 5.2 / √4 = 2.6

Z = (X - μ) / SE = (120 - 117) / 2.6 ≈ 1.15

P(Z > 1.15) ≈ 0.1251

Therefore, the probability that the mean length of four randomly selected subcomponents
exceeds 120 cm is approximately 0.1251.

3.P(All four > 120 cm) = 0.0061

Therefore, the probability that all four randomly selected subcomponents have lengths
exceeding 120 cm is approximately 0.0061.

Exercise #13

1. μ = np = 400 * 0.03 = 12

σ = √(np(1-p)) = 3.43

z = (x - μ) / σ = 2.33

P(Z > 2.33) ≈ 0.0099

Therefore, the probability that more than 5% of the households require a service call is
approximately 0.0099.
2.If in a random sample of 400 households, 5% (or 20 households) report at least one service
call, this would suggest that the manufacturer's claim of a 3% service call rate might be
underestimated.
