  1. Find a z-score such that the probability of getting a z less than that value is .654.

  2. Two out of five adult smokers acquired the habit by age 14. A survey of 1000 randomly selected smokers is conducted. Would it be unusual to have more than 476 of them acquire the habit by age 14?

  3. A recent study of the life span of TI-84 calculators found the average life span to be 3.1 years with a standard deviation of 0.9 years. (assume that these are known to be population values. • a. Would it be unlikely to have a TI-84 last 4 years? • b. Would it be unlikely for the mean of 10 calculators life span to exceed 4 years?

  4. John scored in the 93rd percentile on his admissions test to law school. Unfortunately John has no idea what that means. You have been asked to enlighten him. What will you tell John?

  5. If 10 percent of the population is left handed, • A. What is the probability of randomly selecting 3 people who are all left handed. • B. What is the probability of getting at least 2 left handed people out of a random sample of 10?

  6. A statistics quiz consists of 10 multiple choice questions, with five possible answers for each. What is the probability if a person guesses for all questions that that individual will get at least a 40%?

  7. The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 268 days and a standard deviation of 15 days. (Assume that these are population values) On June 16 a hospital had 12 babies born. What is the probability that the mean length of pregnancy was 263 days or less?

  8. A machine is designed to fill jars with 16 ounces of coffee. A consumer claims that the machine in not filling the jars completely full. A sample of 8 jars has a mean of 15.6 ounces and a standard deviation of .3 ounces. Is there enough evidence to support the consumer’s claim at the 90% certainty level?

  9. A recent internet survey asked users of the lose-a-lot diet program if it worked. Twenty people responded and 123% said that they lost more weight than with other diet programs. • Comment
