In a learning experiment, untrained mice are placed in a maze and the time required for each mouse to exit the maze is recorded. The average time for untrained mice to exit the maze is μ = 50 seconds and the standard deviation of their times is σ = 16 seconds. 64 randomly selected untrained mice are placed in the maze and the time necessary to exit the maze is recorded for each. What is the probability that the sample mean differs from the population mean by more than 3?

Step 1
Since the sample size is large (n = 64), we can use the central limit theorem to assume that the distribution of the sample mean is approximately normal. Show more…

'An experiment testing the amount of time it takes rats to learn a particular maze finds that 5 percent of the rats never learn, and of those rats that do learn how to complete the maze, their times are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 18 minutes and a standard deviation of 4 minutes. A) What is the probability a rat solves the maze in under 15 minutes? B.) What is the probability a rat has not solved the maze in 20 minutes?'

The time needed for college students to complete certain paper-and-pencil maze follows normal distribution with mean of 30 seconds and population standard deviation of 2.8 seconds. You wish to see if the mean time is changed by vigorous exercise, so you have group of 20 college students exercise vigorously for 30 minutes and then complete the maze. It takes them an average of 27.6 seconds to complete the maze. Use this information to test the hypotheses Ho : μ = 30 H1 : μ ≠ 30 Conduct a test using significance level of α = 0.05.
