Reaction Time Study. You have administered a reaction time test to thousands of people and found that the population mean is 150 milliseconds and the population standard deviation is 25 milliseconds. What proportion of people who take this test have a reaction time that is longer than 140 milliseconds?
Added by Ryan C.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the z-score for x = 140 milliseconds using the formula z = (x - μ) / σ, where x = 140, μ = 150, and σ = 25. Show more…

The reaction times of all people in a psychology experiment were normally distributed with a mean of 2 seconds and a standard deviation of 0.5 seconds. (Click here for Z-table.) a) Make a sketch of the distribution showing the reaction times at 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations from the mean. Also show the percents of the times within 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations of the mean. b) Find the percent of scores that are: Less than 0.5 seconds Greater than 3 seconds Between 1.5 seconds and 2.5 seconds c) Find the reaction time at the 20th percentile.

The reaction time to a certain psychological experiment is normally distributed with a mean of 25 seconds and a standard deviation of 3 seconds. (a) What is the probability that a subject has a reaction time between 14 and 30 seconds? (b) What percentage of subjects have reaction times over 14 seconds? (d) What is the reaction time such that only 2% of all subjects are faster? (e) Find the interquartile range of the reaction time.

It is known that a particular laboratory task takes the average person 2.5 seconds (the variance is not known). A researcher was interested in whether older people are slower (take longer) on this task. The researcher tested 30 randomly selected 80-year-olds. Their mean time was 2.7 seconds, with an estimated population standard deviation of 1.4 seconds. What should the researcher conclude? (Use the 0.05 significance level and use the five steps of hypothesis testing.)
