1. James Desreumaux, VP of Human Resources of American
First Banks (AFB), is reviewing the employee training programs
of AFB banks. His staff randomly selected personnel files for

the population mean of training times is

standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample
means would equal ______
4. Life tests performed on a sample of 13 batteries of a new

spans. The 98% confidence interval for the population mean
life of the new model is _________

7. The weight of a USB flash drive is 30 grams and is
normally distributed. Periodically, quanlity control inspectors
at Dallas Flash Drives randomly select a sample of 17 USB flash
drive. If the mean weight of the USB flash drives is too heavy or
too light the machinery is shut down for adjustment; otherwise,
the production process continues. The last sample showed a

respectively. Using a = 0.10, theappropriate decision is_______
8. Elwin Osbourne, CIO at GFS, Inc., is studying employee use
of GFS e-mail for non-business communications. He plans to use

Previous studies indicate that approximately 30% of employee
e-mail is not business related. Elwin should sample _______ e-
mail messages

the wait times in the emergency room The frequency
distribution reveals that the wait times in the emergency room
are _______

intervals is Poisson distributed with a mean of 3 cars arriving
in five-minute time intervals. The probability of 5 cars
arriving over a five-minute interval is ________
11. The number of finance majors within the School of
Business is an example of _______
12. According to the central limit theorem, for samples of size
3. 64 drawn from a population with µ = 800 and σ = 56, the mean
of the sampling distribution of sample means would equal
_______
13. Consider the following null and alternative hypotheses Ho:
m ≤ 67 Ha: m > 67 These hypotheses ___________
14. A market research team compiled the following discrete
probability distribution on the numberof sodas the average
adult drinks each day. In this distribution, x represents the
number of sodas which an adult drinks
x

The mean (average) value of x is ______________
15. A researcher wants to determine the sample size necessary
to adequately conduct a study to estimate the population mean
to within 5 points. The range of population values is 80 and the
researcher plans to use a 90% level of confidence. The sample
size should be at least ______
16. The mean life of a particular brand of light bulb is 1200
hours. If you know that at about 95% of this brand of bulbs will
last between 1100 and 1300 hours, then what is the standard
deviation of the light bulbs’ life?
17. Completion time (from start to finish) of a building
remodeling project is normally distributed with a mean of 200
work-days and a standard deviation of 10 work-days. To be
99% sure that we will not be late in completing the project, we
should request a completion time of ______ work-day.
4. 18. A large industrial firm allows a discount on any invoice
that is paid within 30 days. Of all invoices, 10% receive the
discount. In a company audit, 10 invoices are sampled at
random. The probability that fewer than 3 of the 10 sampled
invoices receive the discount is approximately_______________.
19. Suppose a population has a mean of 400 and a standard
deviation of 24. If a random sample of size 144 is drawn from
the population, the probability of drawing a sample with a
mean less than 402 is _______
20. If x is a binomial random variable with n=10 and p=0.8,
what is the probability that x is equal to 4 ?
21. The normal distribution is used to test about a population
mean for large samples if the population standard deviation is
known. "Large" is usually defined as _______
22. Lucy Baker is analyzing demographic characteristics of
two television programs, Americandol (population 1) and 60
Minutes (population 2). Previous studies indicate no difference
in the ages of the two audiences (The mean age of each
audience is the same.) Lucy plans to test this hypothesis using a

23. Maureen McIlvoy, owner and CEO of a mail order business
for wind surfing equipment and supplies, is reviewing the

Warehouse (population 1) and 400 orders from the East Coast
Warehouse (population 2), and reports that 190 of the West
