The service department of a luxury car dealership conducted research on the amount of time its service technicians spend on each

mart [117]

Answer:

Probability that the mean service time is between 1 and 2 hours is 0.96764.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a systematic random sample of 100 service appointments has been collected.

The 100 appointments showed an average preparation time of 90 minutes with a standard deviation of 140 minutes.

Let $\bar X$ = sample mean service time

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = average preparation time = 90 minutes

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 140 minutes

n = sample of appointments = 100

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

Now, probability that the mean service time is between 60 and 120 minutes is given by = P(60 minutes < $\bar X$ < 120 minutes)

P(60 minutes < $\bar X$ < 120 minutes) = P( $\bar X$ < 120 min) - P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 60 min)

P( $\bar X$ < 120 min) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{120-90}{\frac{140}{\sqrt{100} } }$ ) = P(Z < 2.14) = 0.98382

P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 60 min) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ $\leq$ $\frac{60-90}{\frac{140}{\sqrt{100} } }$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -2.14) = 1 - P(Z < 2.14)

= 1 - 0.98382 = 0.01618

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.14 in the z table which has an area of 0.98382.

Therefore, P(60 min < $\bar X$ < 120 min) = 0.98382 - 0.01618 = 0.96764

Lexi needs to buy 105 vases for a party each package has 6 vases how many packages should Lexi buy?

antiseptic1488 [7]

Lexi needs to buy 18 packages. To find the answer, divide the number of vases she needs, 105, divided by 6 (the vases per package). 106/6 is 17.5. Because you can't buy a half of a package, she would have to buy 18 packages.
