The annual precipitation amounts in a certain mountain range are normally distributed with a mean of 91 inches, and a standard d

eviation of 14 inches. what is the probability that the mean annual precipitation during 49 randomly picked years will be less than 93.8 inches?

The sample std. dev. will be (14 inches) / sqrt(49), or (14 inches) / 7, or 2 inches.

Find the z score for 93.8 inches:
       93.8 inches - 91.0 inches          2.8 inches
z = ------------------------------------- = ----------------- = 1.4
                    2 inches                         2 inches

Now find the area under the standard normal curve to the left of z = +1.4.

My calculator returns the following:

normalcdf(-100,1.4) = 0.919.  This is the probability that the mean annual precipitation during those 49 years will be less than 93.8 inches.

Answer:

A 95% confidence interval for the true mean minimum temperature that will damage an iPod is between 2.55°F and 7.45°F

Test statistic(Z) = 2.31

P-value = 0.0104

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Null hypothesis: The average damaging temperature of nine iPods is 5°F

Alternate hypothesis: The average damaging temperature of nine iPods differs from 5°F

Step 2

Mean=5°F, Sd=3, df=n-1=9-1=8

The t-value corresponding to 8 degrees of freedom and 95% confidence level (5% significance level) is 2.306

Confidence Interval(CI) = (mean + or - t×sd/√n)

CI = (5 + 2.306×3/√8) = 5 + 6.918/2.828= 5+2.45=7.45°F

CI = (5 - 2.306×3/√8) = 5-2.45 = 2.55°F

Z = (sample mean - population mean)/(sd÷√n) = (5-2.55)/(3÷√8) = 2.45/1.061 = 2.31

Step 3

Using the standard distribution table, the cumulative area to the left of Z = 2.31 is 0.9896

P-value = 1 - 0.9896 = 0.0104

Step 4

Conclusion: A 95% confidence interval for the true mean minimum temperature that will damage an iPod is between 2.55°F and 7.45°F

The median is a halfway point in the set of data.

List the numbers in order from smallest to largest:

111, 129, 144, 149, 152, 162, 166, 171

Because there are an even number of values in the data set, find the two middle numbers, add them together and then divide by 2:

Median = ( 149 + 152 ) /2

Median = 150.5
