The training time for new employees to operate a complex piece of manufacturing equipment is strongly skewed right with a mean of 0.85 hours and a standard deviation of 1.17 hours. The standard deviation is quite large due to upper outliers for some who take a much longer time to learn how to use the device. The sampling distribution for samples of size 10 would be which of the following:

A company recently installed a new photocopy machine and evaluating how long it takes for new workers to learn how to use the machine. Suppose It is known that the learning times for all new workers are not normally distributed but have a mean 90 minutes and standard deviation of 8 minutes. A sample of 36 workers are selected. (a) What is the probability that the mean learning time of those sample of 36 workers is at least 98 minutes? (b) What type of shape did you assume for the sampling distribution for sample mean and on what ground? Justify. (c) If one worker starts to learn using the machine at 12 in the noon and the lunch time is 1:40 pm, what is the probability that the worker will finish learning before lunch time.

A human resources manager keeps a record of how many years each employee at a large company has been working in their current role. The distribution of these years of experience is strongly skewed to the right with a mean of 3 years and a standard deviation of 2 years. Suppose we were to take a random sample of 40 employees and calculate the sample mean for their years of experience. We can assume independence between members in the sample. What is the probability that the mean years of experience from the sample of 40 employees is greater than 3.5 years?

The manufacture of a certain part requires two different machine operations. The time on machine 1 has mean 0.4 hours and standard deviation 0.1 hours. The time on machine 2 has mean 0.45 hours and standard deviation 0.15 hours. The times needed on the machines are independent. Suppose that 65 parts are manufactured. What is the distribution of the total time on machine 1? On machine 2?
