The Economic Policy Institute periodically issues reports onwages of entry level workers. The Institute reported that entrylevel wages for male college graduates were $21.68 per hour and forfemale college graduates were $18.80 per hour in 2011 (EconomicPolicy Institute website, March 30, 2012). Assume the standarddeviation for male graduates is $2.30, and for female graduates itis $2.05. Use z-table.
A. What is the probability that a sample of 50 malegraduates will provide a sample mean within $.50 of the populationmean, $21.68? (Round z value in intermediate calculations to 2decimal places.)
B. What is the probability that a sample of 50 femalegraduates will provide a sample mean within $.50 of the populationmean, $18.80? (Round z value in intermediate calculations to 2decimal places.)
C. What is the probability that asample of 120 female graduates will provide a sample mean more than$.30 below the population mean? (Round z value in intermediatecalculations to 2 decimal places.)
