- \(Χ\) = amount of change students carry
- \(Χ \sim E(0.88, 0.88)\)
- \(\overline X\) = average amount of change carried by a sample of 25 students.
- \(\overline X \sim N(0.88, 0.176)\)
- \(0.0819\)
- \(0.1882\)
- The distributions are different. Part 1 is exponential and part 2 is normal.

- length of time for an individual to complete \(IRS\) form 1040, in hours.
- mean length of time for a sample of 36 taxpayers to complete \(IRS\) form 1040, in hours.
- \(N(10.53, \frac{1}{3})\)
- Yes. I would be surprised, because the probability is almost 0.
- No. I would not be totally surprised because the probability is 0.2312

- the length of a song, in minutes, in the collection
- \(U(2, 3.5)\)
- the average length, in minutes, of the songs from a sample of five albums from the collection
- \(N(2.75, 0.066)\)
- 2.74 minutes
- 0.03 minutes
55.
- True. The mean of a sampling distribution of the means is approximately the mean of the data distribution.
- True. According to the Central Limit Theorem, the larger the sample, the closer the sampling distribution of the means becomes normal.
- The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the means will decrease making it approximately the same as the standard deviation of X as the sample size increases.
57.
- \(X\) = the yearly income of someone in a third world country
- the average salary from samples of 1,000 residents of a third world country
- \(\overline X \sim N\left(2000, \frac{8000}{\sqrt{1000}}\right)\)
- Very wide differences in data values can have averages smaller than standard deviations.
- The distribution of the sample mean will have higher probabilities closer to the population mean.
\(P(2000 < \overline X < 2100) = 0.1537 \)
\(P(2100 < \overline X < 2200) = 0.1317\)
