Question

A certain type of radio tubes lasts on the average of 3 years with a standard deviation of 2.9 years. What is the probability that a random sample of 40 tubes taken from a population of N = 300 will last an average of more than 2 years? The average cost per household of owning a brand new car is $5000. Suppose that we randomly selected 40 households, determine the probability that the sample mean for these 40 households is between $5,250 and $5,500. Assume that the variable is normally distributed and the standard deviation is 1,230. SD of the sample mean (input 4 decimal places)= z-scores (input 2 decimal places) Final answer/ Probability (input 2 decimal places

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
