Normal
| For all problems below, use excel to do the calculation and show the Excel functions to get full credit. |
| 1. Given that z is a standard normal random variable, compute the following probabilities. |
| a) P(-1.85≤z≤0.66) |
| b) P(z≥-0.25) |
| 2. Given that z is a standard normal random variable, find z for each situation |
| a) the area between -z and z is 0.88. |
| b) the area to the left of z is 0.966. |
| 3. A company’s workers spend an average of 20 hours on the Internet while at work. Assume that the time is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 8 hours. |
| a) What is the probability that a worker spends at most 30 hours on the Internet? |
| b) What is the probability that a worker spends between 20 to 30 hours on the Internet? |
| c) A person is classified as a heavy user if he or she is in the upper 20% of the usage. How many hours must a worker have logged on to the Internet to be considered as a heavy user? |
| 4. Assume that the height of American adult males is normally distributed with a mean of 176 cm and a standard deviation of 9.3 cm. |
| a) What's the probability that an American adult male is taller than 160 cm? |
| b) What's the probability that a randomly selected American adult male is between 170 cm and 180 cm tall? |

Sampling 1
| For all problems below, use excel to do the calculation and show the Excel functions to get full credit. |
| 1. Assume that we want to identify a simple random sample of 10 of 495 students in a school. |
| a) What's the principle for selecting a simple random sample for a finite population? How about infinite population? |
| b) How many different simple random samples of size 10 can be selected from this population? |
| c) Use the 6th row of the five digit random numbers in the table below to identify the 10 students. Begin with 418. * (No need to use Excel function to answer this question.) |
| 2. 10% of the items produced by a machine are defective. A random sample of 50 items is selected and checked for defects. |
| a) What's the sampling distribution of the sample proportion? |
| b) What's the probability that the sample will contain at least 8 defective units? |
Sampling 2

Hypothesis
| Time | 1. A marketing company bases charges to a client on the assumption that telephone surveys can be completed in a mean time of 15 minutes or less. If a longer mean survey time is necessary, a premium rate is charged. | |
| 17 | A sample of 35 surveys provided the survey times shown on the left. The population standard deviation is assumed known with 4 minutes. | |
| 11 | Based on the sample statistics, is the premium rate justified? (Hint: If the population mean is over 15 minutes, the premium rate is not justified.) | |
| 12 | ||
| 23 | a) Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses for this application. | |
| 20 | b) Compute the sample mean. | |
| 23 | c) Compute the test statistic. | |
| 15 | d) Test the hypothesis at 5% significance level using the p-value approach. State the p-value and test conclusion. | |
| 16 | ||
| 23 | 2. Consider the following hypothesis test: | |
| 22 | H0: μ = 10 | |
| 18 | Ha: μ ≠ 10 | |
| 23 | A sample of 81 provides a sample mean of 9.5. The population standard deviation of 1.8. | |
| 25 | ||
| 14 | a) Compute the value of the test statistic. | |
| 12 | b) At 1% significance level , test the above hypotheses using p-value approach. State your conclusion. | |
| 12 | c) At 5% significance level , test the above hypotheses using the critical value approach. State the critical value first. | |
| 20 | d) Construct the 95% confidence interval for the population mean based on the sample mean. | |
| 18 | e) Based on your result in d), should you reject the null hypothesis at 5% significance level? Explain. | |
