Central Limit Theorem (Mean)

A company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are normally distributed with a mean of 185.4-cm and a standard deviation of 1-cm. For shipment, 49 steel rods are bundled together. Round all answers to four decimal places if necessary.

· For a single randomly selected steel rod, find the probability that the length is between 185.3-cm and 185.4-cm. 

· For a bundled of 49 rods, find the probability that the average length is between 185.3-cm and 185.4-cm. 

· For part d), is the assumption of normal necessary? NoYes

The average number of miles (in thousands) that a car's tire will function before needing replacement is 68 and the standard deviation is 15. Suppose that 50 randomly selected tires are tested. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible and assume a normal distribution.

The manager of a computer retails store is concerned that his suppliers have been giving him laptop computers with lower than average quality. His research shows that replacement times for the model laptop of concern are normally distributed with a mean of 3.1 years and a standard deviation of 0.4 years. He then randomly selects records on 37 laptops sold in the past. Round the answers of following questions to 4 decimal places.

A leading magazine (like Barron's) reported at one time that the average number of weeks an individual is unemployed is 25 weeks. Assume that the length of unemployment is normally distributed with population mean of 25 weeks and the population standard deviation of 7 weeks. Suppose you would like to select a random sample of 17 unemployed individuals for a follow-up study. Round the answers of following questions to 4 decimal places.
