Text: Academic achievement for university students has been found to be positively related to outside employment. Suppose that the number of hours per week spent working by university students is distributed normally, with a true mean of 12 hours per week and a true standard deviation of 5 hours per week. A sample of size 30 students will be randomly selected.

Step 1
- The parameter is the true mean of the number of hours per week spent working by university students, which is 12 hours per week. - The parameter is the true standard deviation of the number of hours per week spent working by university students, which is 5 hours Show more…

Academic achievement for university students has been found to be positively related to outside employment. Suppose that the number of hours per week spent working by University students is has a true population mean μ of 12 hours per week and a true population standard deviation σ of 5 hours per week. a. A sample of 30 students is randomly selected (n = 30). Describe the three characteristics (i.e., related to location, variability, and shape) of the sampling distribution of means (x-bar). Be sure to include the appropriate mathematical notations.

A university states that the average study time for students on the campus is 3 hours per day. A student union representative believes this to be false and conducts a survey of 49 students. The survey results in an average study time of 3.2 hours with a standard deviation of 0.7 hours. Test the university's claim at a 10% level of significance. Assume a normal distribution.

A national study found that college students with jobs worked an average of 22 hours per week. The standard deviation is 9 hours. A college student with a job is selected at random. Find the probability that the student works for less than 4 hours per week. Assume that the lengths of time college students work are normally distributed and are represented by the variable X. Hint: Convert the normal distribution X to Standard normal using the Z formula Z = (X - μ) / σ and then look up the Z-values from the table to find the probability.
