A leading magazine (like Barron's) reported at one time that the average number of weeks an individual is unemployed is 17 weeks. Assume that for the population of all unemployed individuals the population mean length of unemployment is 17 weeks and that the population standard deviation is 3.3 weeks. Suppose you would like to select a random sample of 63 unemployed individuals for a follow-up study. Find the probability that a single randomly selected value is greater than 16.2. P(X > 16.2) = _____ (Enter your answers as numbers accurate to 4 decimal places.) Find the probability that a sample of size n=63n=63 is randomly selected with a mean greater than 16.2. P(M > 16.2) = _____ (Enter your answers as numbers accurate to 4 decimal places.)

Step 1
2. - Calculate the z-score: \(z = \frac{16.2 - 17}{3.3} = -0.24\) - Find the probability: \(P(X > 16.2) = 1 - P(Z < -0.24) = 1 - 0.4052 = 0.5948\) Show more…

A leading magazine (like Barron's) reported at one time that the average number of weeks an individual is unemployed is 16 weeks. Assume that for the population of all unemployed individuals, the population mean length of unemployment is 16 weeks and that the population standard deviation is 2.9 weeks. Suppose you would like to select a random sample of 81 unemployed individuals for a follow-up study. Find the probability that a single randomly selected value is greater than 15.4. P(X > 15.4) = (Enter your answers as numbers accurate to 4 decimal places.) Find the probability that a sample of size n = 81 is randomly selected with a mean greater than 15.4. P(M > 15.4) = (Enter your answers as numbers accurate to 4 decimal places.)

A leading magazine (like Barron's) reported at one time that the average number of weeks an individual is unemployed is 33 weeks. Assume that for the population of all unemployed individuals the length of unemployment is normally distributed where the population mean length of unemployment is 33 weeks and that the population standard deviation is 2 weeks. Suppose you would like to select a random sample of 36 unemployed individuals for a follow-up study. Find the probability that a single randomly selected value is less than 34. P(X < 34) = Find the probability that a sample of size n = 36 is randomly selected with a mean less than 34. P(M < 34) = Enter your answers as numbers accurate to 4 decimal places.
