Suppose that the amount of time that students spend
studying in the library in one sitting is normally distributed
with mean 40 minutes and standard deviation 16 minutes.
A researcher observed 47 students who entered the library
to study. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where
possible.
a. What is the distribution of X? X - N(
b. What is the distribution of æ? ¤ - N(
c. What is the distribution of )
x? >x - N(
d. If one randomly selected student is timed, find the
probability that this student's time will be between
41 and 42 minutes.
e. For the 47 students, find the probability that their
average time studying is between 41 and 42 minutes.
f. Find the probability that the randomly selected 47
students will have a total study time more than 1974
minutes.
g. For part e) and f), is the assumption of normal
necessary? O Yes No
h. The top 10% of the total study time for groups of 47
students will be given a sticker that says "Great
dedication". What is the least total time that a group
can study and still receive a sticker?
