Problem 2 Calculate the following using the provided normal probability table. Illustrate your answers with graphs. a. P(-1.2 <Z 1.3) = ? b. P(X > 10) =? where X is distributed normal with u = 9 and 6 = 4. c. The 79th percentile of X, where X is distributed normal with u = 5 and o=16. d. P(41 S X < 44) = ?, where X is calculated from random sample of n = 81 selected from a normally distributed population, X-N(40, 144).
Eco Mg1230_322_midterm2_1010.docx- 2 of 2 Problem 3 You run a call center and you need to determine the typical length of a technical support call to your center. The research department takes a random sample of 60 calls and calculates the sample average length of a call ž to be 15 minutes and the sample standard deviations to be 7 minutes. a. Calculate the 99% confidence interval for u, the population mean time for length of a technical support call. The Z-critical value for this interval is za = 2001 = 20.005 = 2.575. b. Interpret the confidence interval in words. c. The vice president of research asserts that the mean length of a call is 10 minutes. Do you agree with this? Explain how you know. d. Suppose your company needs a narrower confidence interval, so it can decide whether more training is necessary for its technical support staff. Calculate the sample size necessary to estimate the population mean within 1 minute.
Problem 4 In a test of the hypothesis Ho: d = 50 versus HA: > 50 a sample of n = 40 observations was found to have mean x = 58 and standard deviation s = 25. a. Give the definition of a p-value. b. Calculate the p-value for this test. c. Can you reject the null hypothesis at the 10% level of significance? at the 5% level of significance? at the 1% level of significance? Explain the criterion you use. Illustrate your answer with a graph.
