A study of the amount of time it takes a mechanic to rebuild the transmission for a 1992 Chevrolet Cavalier shows that the mean

is 8.4 hours and the standard deviation is 1.8 hours. If 40 mechanics are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean rebuild time exceeds 9.1 hours.

Answer:

B) 0.0069

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 8.4, \sigma = 1.8, n = 40, s = \frac{1.8}{\sqrt{40}} = 0.2846

Find the probability that their mean rebuild time exceeds 9.1 hours.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 9.1. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{9.1 - 8.4}{0.2846}

Z = 2.46

Z = 2.46 has a pvalue of 0.9931

1 - 0.9931 = 0.0069

So the answer is B.

(\frac{x + 1}{x} ) ^{2}  \\  =  \frac{ {(x + 1)}^{2} }{ {x}^{2} }  \\  = \frac{ (x + 1)(x + 1) }{ {x}^{2} } \\ = \frac{ {x}^{2}  + 2x + 1}{ {x}^{2} }

Hope you could get an idea from here.
