Question

Business Weekly conducted a survey of graduates from 30 top MBA programs. On the basis of the survey, assume the mean annual salary for graduates 10 years after graduation is $127,000. Assume the standard deviation is $41,000. Suppose you take a simple random sample of 45 graduates. Round all answers to four decimal places if necessary.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Hello. Since your question has multiple sub-parts, we will solve first three sub-parts for you. If you want remaining sub-parts to be solved, then please resubmit the whole question and specify those sub-parts you want us to solve.

Given:

Mean, μ=127,000

Standard deviation, σ=41,000

Sample size, n = 45

1. Distribution of X:

X~N (μ, σ2)X~N (μ=127000, σ=41000)

2. Distribution of x:

μ=μ=127000

and

s=σn=4100045=6111.9227

Therefore, distribution is:

x~N (μ=127000, σ=6111.9227)
