(c) According to a report, the average monthly household cellular phone bill is $60. 07
Suppose local monthly household cell phone bills are normally distributed with a
standard deviation of $11.35.
a. What is the probability that a randomly selected monthly cell phone bill is more
1
than $85?
b. What is the probability that a randomly selected monthly cell phone bill is between
$45 and $70?
c. What is the probability that a randomly selected monthly cell phone bill is between
$65 and $75?

Q.3 (a) What is uniform distribution? Explain probability density function of uniform 07
distribution with its mean and standard deviation.
(b) According to Research, the average number of hours of TV viewing per household 07
per week in the United States is 50.4 hours. Suppose the standard deviation is 11.8
hours and a random sample of 42 U.S. households is taken.
a. What is the probability that the sample average is more than 52 hours?
b. What is the probability that the sample average is less than 47.5 hours?
c. What is the probability that the sample average is less than 40 hours?
Q.4 (a) According to the report, the average weekly earnings of a production worker in 1997 07
were $424.20. Suppose a labor researcher wants to test to determine whether this
figure is still accurate today. The researcher randomly selects 54 production workers
and obtains a representative earnings statement for one week from each. The resulting
sample average is $432.69. Assuming a population standard deviation of $33.90, and
a 5% level of significance, determine whether the mean weekly earnings of a
production worker have changed.
(b) Determine the equation of regression line. 07

(b) A large manufacturing company investigated the service it received from suppliers 07
and discovered that, in the past, 32% of all materials shipments were received late.
However, the company recently installed a just-in-time system in which suppliers are
linked more closely to the manufacturing process. A random sample of 118 deliveries
since the just-in-time system was installed reveals that 22 deliveries were late. Use
this sample information to test whether the proportion of late deliveries was reduced
significantly. Let = .05.

(b) The following data (in pounds), which were selected randomly from a normally 07
distributed population of values, represent measurements of a machine part that is
supposed to weigh, on average, 8.3 pounds.
