Answer:

\mu = 56.8

\sigma = 12.1

A)what is the probability that the sample mean will be More than 58 pounds

P(x>58)

Formula : Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Substitute the values :

Z=\frac{58-56.8}{12.1}

Z=0.09917

refer the z table

P(x<58)=0.5359

P(X>58)=1-P(x<58)=1-0.5359=0.4641

Hence the probability that the sample mean will be More than 58 pounds is 0.4641

B)what is the probability that the sample mean will be More than 57 pounds

P(x>57)

Formula : Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Substitute the values :

Z=\frac{57-56.8}{12.1}

Z=0.0165

refer the z table

P(x<57)=0.5040

P(X>57)=1-P(x<57)=1-0.5040=0.496

Hence the probability that the sample mean will be More than 57 pounds is 0.496

C)what is the probability that the sample mean will be Between 55 and 57 pound

Formula : Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Substitute the values :

Z=\frac{57-56.8}{12.1}

Z=0.0165

refer the z table

P(x<57)=0.5040

Formula : Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Substitute the values :

Z=\frac{55-56.8}{12.1}

Z=-0.1487

refer the z table

P(x<55)=0.4443

P(55<x<57)=P9x<57)-P(x<55) =0.5040-0.4443=0.0597

Hence the probability that the sample mean will be Between 55 and 57 pounds is 0.0597

D)what is the probability that the sample mean will be Less than 53 pounds

Formula : Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Substitute the values :

Z=\frac{53-56.8}{12.1}

Z=−0.314

refer the z table

P(x<53)=0.3783

The probability that the sample mean will be Less than 53 pounds is 0.3783

E)what is the probability that the sample mean will be Less than 48 pounds

Formula : Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Substitute the values :

Z=\frac{48-56.8}{12.1}

Z=−0.727

refer the z table

P(x<48)=0.2358

The probability that the sample mean will be Less than 48 pounds is 0.2358

The average amount of time that students use computers at a university computer center is 36 minutes with a standard deviation o
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

2119 students use the computer for more than 40 minutes. This number is higher than the threshold estabilished of 2000, so yes, the computer center should purchase the new computers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 36, \sigma = 5

The first step to solve this question is finding the proportion of students which use the computer more than 40 minutes, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 40. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{40 - 36}{5}

Z = 0.8

Z = 0.8 has a pvalue of 0.7881.

1 - 0.7881 = 0.2119

So 21.19% of the students use the computer for longer than 40 minutes.

Out of 10000

0.2119*10000 = 2119

2119 students use the computer for more than 40 minutes. This number is higher than the threshold estabilished of 2000, so yes, the computer center should purchase the new computers.
