a, P(X>15) = P (Z > 7 ( (15 - 27.5)/ 6.5)

= P(Z > -1.92) = 1 - 0.02743 = 0.9725

b, P(10 < X > 20) = P ( (10 - 27.5)/ 6.5) < Z > ( (20 - 27.5)/ 6.5)

= P(-2.69 < Z < -1.15) = 0.12507 - 0.00357 = 0.1215

c, P(X < 10) = P(Z < -2.69) = 0.00357

d, P(Z < ?) = 0.9900, from table

Z = 2.33

⇔ (X - 27.5)/ 6.5 = 2.33

=> X = 42.645

6.26

a, P(X < 37) = (37 - 35)/30 = 2/30 = 0.0571

b, P(38 < X < 65) = (65 - 38)/ 30 = 27/ 30 = 0.9

c, P(38 < X < 62) = (62 - 38)/ 30 = 24/ 30 = 0.80

d, mean = (b + a)/ 2 = (35 + 65)/ 2 = 100/ 2 = 50

2 2
Standard Deviation =(𝑏 − 𝑎) / 12 = 30 / 12 = 75.

8.24

a, 25.90 < µ < 33.45.

b, That the population distribution is normally distributed.

 c, The boxplot and the skewness and kurtosis statistics indicate a right
skewed distribution. However, the validity of the results should not be
greatly affected.

8.32

(a) p = x>n = 17>50 = 0.34

Confidence Intervals = 0.34 ± 1.96 (0. 34)(1 − 0. 34)/50 = 0.34 ± 0.13

= 0.47 and 0.21. The results means that the manager is 95% confident that
the proportion of employees favouring Plan B is between 0.47 and 0.21.

(b) Confidence Intervals = 0.34 ± 2.575 (0. 34)(1 − 0. 34)/50= 0.34 ±

0.17 = 0.17 and 0.51. The results means that the manager is 99%
confident that the proportion of employees favoring Plan B is between
0.17 and 0.51.

(c) Comparing a and b, as the confidence level increases, the range

increases. However, the precision in the results decreases.

8.40 n = 55.

9.32 a, b

a, Because tSTAT = -5.9355 < -2.0106, reject H0.

=> widths of the troughs is different from 8.46 inches.

b, The population distribution is normal.

9.50

a, tSTAT = 1.9221 < 2.3549, do not reject H0. There is insufficient

evidence that the population mean one-time gift donation is greater than
$85.50.

b, The probability of getting a sample mean of $87 or more if the

population mean is $85.50 is 0.0284.
