Question
Suppose that the amount of time that students spend studying in the library in one sitting is normally
distributed with mean 45 minutes and standard deviation 22 minutes. A researcher observed 11 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 ? I ~ N(
c. What is the distribution of Σx? Σx ~ N(
I
d. If one randomly selected student is timed, find the probability that this student's time will be
between 40 and 44 minutes.
e. For the 11 students, find the probability that their average time studying is between 40 and 44
minutes.
f. Find the probability that the randomly selected 11 students will have a total study time more than
583 minutes.
g. For part e) and f), is the assumption of normal necessary? Yes No
h. The top 15% of the total study time for groups of 11 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?
