Answer:
a)
b) The 95th percentile is 4.4935 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean and standard deviation , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation .
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
The reviews take her approximately four hours each to do with a population standard deviation of 1.2 hours.
This means that
16 reviews.
This means that
A. Find the probability that the mean of a month’s reviews will take Yoonie from 3.5 to 4.25 hrs.
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 4.25 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3.5. So
X = 4.25
By the Central Limit Theorem
has a pvalue of 0.7967
X = 3.5
has a pvalue of 0.0475
0.7967 - 0.0475 = 0.7492
So
C. Find the 95th percentile for the mean time to complete one month's reviews.
This is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95, so X when Z = 1.645.
The 95th percentile is 4.4935 hours.
