Problem 2: Textbook exercise 8.26 The amount of time that a drive-through bank teller spends on a customer is a random variable with a mean $\mu = 3.2$ minutes and a standard deviation $\sigma = 1.6$ minutes. If a random sample of 64 customers is observed, find the probability that their mean time at the teller's counter is (a) at most 2.7 minutes; (b) more than 3.5 minutes; (c) at least 3.2 minutes but less than 3.4 minutes.

Step 1
We are given that $X$ has a mean $\mu = 3.2$ minutes and a standard deviation $\sigma = 1.6$ minutes. We have a random sample of $n = 64$ customers. Let $\bar{X}$ be the sample mean of the time spent on the 64 customers. By the Central Limit Theorem, the Show more…

The amount of time that a drive-through bank teller spends on a customer is a random variable with a mean of 3.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.6 minutes. If a random sample of 64 customers is observed, find the probability that their mean time at the teller's counter is: a. At most 2.7 minutes. b. More than 3.5 minutes. c. At least 3.2 minutes but less than 3.4 minutes.

The amount of time that a drive-through bank teller spends on a customer is a random variable with a mean μ = 3.2 minutes and a standard deviation σ = 1.6 minutes. If a random sample of 64 customers is observed, find the probability that their mean time at the teller's window is: (a) at most 2.7 minutes; (b) more than 3.5 minutes; (c) at least 3.2 minutes but less than 3.4 minutes.
