Solution: We are given the population mean
Now, in order to find which shift's mean is closest to population mean, we will find the mean of each shift.
The mean of shift 1 is:
The mean of shift 2 is:
The mean of shift 3 is:
The mean of shift 4 is:
We clearly see the mean of shift 2 is close to the population mean. Hence the option B) Shift 2 is correct.
Answer:
The probability that Bob will win that wonderful trip on the basis of his gasoline sales this month
P(X≥ 2800) = P(Z₁≥1.5) = 0.0768
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>
Mean of the Population (μ) = 2500 gallons
Standard deviation of the population (σ) =200 gallons
Let 'X' be a random variable in Normal distribution
Given X = 2800
<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>
The probability that Bob will win that wonderful trip on the basis of his gasoline sales this month
P(X≥ 2800) = P(Z₁≥1.5)
= 0.5 - A(Z₁)
= 0.5 - A(1.5)
= 0.5 -0.4232 ( from normal table)
= 0.0768
<u><em>Conclusion</em></u>:-
The probability that Bob will win that wonderful trip on the basis of his gasoline sales this month
P(X≥ 2800) = P(Z₁≥1.5) = 0.0768
