Information Recall that the population average of the heights in the �le "pop1.csv" is μ = 170.035. Using simulations we found that the probability of the sample average of the height falling within 1 centimeter of the population average is approximately equal to 0.626. From the simulations we also got that the standard deviation of the sample average is (approximately) equal to 1.122. In the next 3 questions you are asked to apply the Normal approximation to the distribution of the sample average using this information. The answer may be rounded up to 3 decimal places of the actual value:

Question 2

https://my.uopeople.edu/mod/quiz/review.php?attempt=4767519&cmi Correct

Mark 1.00 out of 1.00

Using the Normal approximation we get that the central region that contains 95% of the distribution of the sample average is of the form 170.035 ± z · 1.122. The value of z is Answer: 1.959964

The correct answer is: 1.959964

Question 3

Correct

Mark 1.00 out of 1.00

Using the Normal approximation, the probability that sample average of the heights is less than 168 is Answer: 0.03486

The correct answer is: 0.03486

Question 4

Correct

Mark 1.00 out of 1.00

According to the Internal Revenue Service, the average length of time for an individual to complete (record keep, learn, prepare, copy, assemble and send) IRS Form 1040 is 10.53 hours (without any attached schedules). The distribution is unknown. Let us assume that the standard deviation is 2 hours. Suppose we randomly sample 36 taxpayers and compute their average time to completing the forms. Then the probability that the average is more than 11 hours is approximately equal to (The answer may be rounded up to 3 decimal places of the actual value.) 0.0793

The correct answer is: 0.07926984

Information Suppose that a category of world class runners are known to run a marathon (26 miles) in an expectation of 145 minutes with a standard deviation of 14 minutes. Consider 49 of the races. In the next 3 questions you are asked to apply the Normal approximation to the distribution of the sample average using this information. The answer may be rounded up to 3 decimal places of the actual value:

Question 5

Correct

Question 8

https://my.uopeople.edu/mod/quiz/review.php?attempt=4767519&cmi Correct

Mark 1.00 out of 1.00

The time to wait for a particular rural bus is distributed uniformly from 0 to 75 minutes. 100 riders are randomly sampled and their waiting times are measured. The 90th percentile of the average waiting time (in minutes) for a sample of 100 riders is (approximately): Select one: a. 315.0 b. 40.3 c. 38.5 d. 65.2

The correct answer is: 40.3

Information A switching board receives a random number of phone calls. The expected number of calls is 5.3 per minute. Assume that the distribution of the number of calls is Poisson. The average number of calls per minute is recorded by counting the total number of calls received in one hour, divided by 60, the number of minutes in an hour. In the next 4 questions you are asked to apply the Normal approximation to the distribution of the sample average using this information. The answer may be rounded up to 3 decimal places of the actual value:

Question 9

Correct

Mark 1.00 out of 1.00

Question 12

Incorrect

Mark 0.00 out of 1.00

The probability that number of calls in a random minute is less than 5 is 0.43563 . (Note, the question is with respect to a random minute , and not the average.)

The correct answer is: 0.3895182

Information It is claimed that the expected length of time some computer part may work before requiring a reboot is 2 months. In order to examine this claim 80 identical parts are set to work. Assume that the distribution of the length of time the part can work (in months) is Exponential. In the next 4 questions you are asked to apply the Normal approximation to the distribution of the average of the 80 parts that are examined. The answer may be rounded up to 3 decimal places of the actual value:
