The time it takes a CPU to process a certain type of job is normally distributed with mean 25 seconds and standard deviation 2 seconds. If a sample of 16 such jobs is observed, what is the probability that the sample variance will exceed 4? The probability is: (A)0.4530 (B)0.4514 (C)0.9999 (D)0.5567

The time it takes a control processing unit to process a certain type of job is normally distributed with mean 20 seconds and standard deviation 3 seconds. If a sample of 15 such jobs is observed, what is the probability that the sample standard deviation in processing time will exceed 3.465 seconds?

The time that it takes a randomly selected job applicant to perform a certain task has a distribution that can be approximated by a Normal distribution with a mean of 120 seconds and a standard deviation of 20 seconds. The fastest 10% are to be given advanced training. (a) What task times qualify individuals for such training? (b) The probability of observing a task time that is less than 90 seconds would correspond to the probability that a Standard Normal random variable would be less than what number?

From historical data, you know that the time it takes to do a certain job is normally distributed with a mean of 130 minutes and a standard deviation of 20 minutes. To monitor performance, each week a sample of 25 jobs is selected, and the average time it takes to do the job is recorded. In a particular week, the average time to do the job was 128 minutes with a standard deviation of 16 minutes. The distribution of times in the sample comes out bell-shaped. What can you say, if anything, about each of the following intervals? a) 128 +/- 2 * 16 b) 130 +/- 2 * (20 / √25) c) 128 +/- 2 * (16 / √25) b) 128 +/- 2 * (20 / √25)
