A lumber mill produces cuts of wood. Assume the distribution of the length of the cuts follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 12 centimeters. Suppose that we select a sample of 12 cuts from the lumber mill. What is the standard error of the mean? A lumber mill produces cuts of wood. Assume the distribution of the lenath of the cuts follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 12 centimeters. Suppose that we select a sample of 12 cuts from the lumber mill. What is the standard error of the mean?

Your lumber company has bought a machine that automatically cuts lumber. The seller of the machine claims that the machine cuts lumber to a mean length of 9 feet (108 inches) with a standard deviation of 0.4 inch. Assume the lengths are normally distributed. You randomly select 45 boards and find that the mean length is 108.15 inches. Complete parts (a) through (c). (a) Assuming the seller's claim is correct, what is the probability that the mean of the sample is 108.15 inches or more? (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

A lumber company is making boards that are 2920.0 millimeters tall. If the boards are too long they must be trimmed, and if the boards are too short they cannot be used. A sample of 12 is made, and it is found that they have a mean of 2922.7 millimeters with a variance of 121.00. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used to determine if the boards are either too long or too short. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.
