Name: __________________ 1 Class: Date: _____________ A certain brand of flood lamps has a lifetime that is normally distributed with a mean of 3,750 hours and a standard deviation of 300 hours. What proportion of these lamps will last for more than 4,000 hours? Enter your answer to four decimal places. _________ 2 A certain brand of flood lamps has a lifetime that is normally distributed with a mean of 3,750 hours and a standard deviation of 300 hours. What proportion of these lamps will last less than 3,600 hours? Enter your answer to four decimal places. _________ 3 A certain brand of flood lamps has a lifetime that is normally distributed with a mean of 3,750 hours and a standard deviation of 300 hours. What proportion of these lamps will last between 3,800 and 4,100 hours? Enter your answer to four decimal places. _________ 4 A certain brand of flood lamps has a lifetime that is normally distributed with a mean of 3,750 hours and a standard deviation of 300 hours. What lifetime should the manufacturer advertise for these lamps in order that only 2% of the lamps will burn out before the advertised lifetime? _________ 5 hours The standard error of the mean: a. is never larger than the standard deviation of the population. 6 b. decreases as the sample size increases. c. measures the variability of the mean from sample to sample. d. All of these choices. True-False. The central limit theorem is basic to the concept of statistical inference, because it permits us to draw conclusions about the population based strictly on sample data, and without having any knowledge about the distribution of the underlying population. 7 In a given year, the average annual salary of a NFL football player was $205,000 with a standard deviation of $24,500. If a simple random sample of 50 players was taken, what is the probability that the sample mean will exceed $210,000? Enter your answer to four decimal places. _________ PAGE 1 Name: __________________ 8 Class: Date: _____________ The heights of men in the USA are normally distributed with a mean of 68 inches and a standard deviation of 4 inches.
