Answer the following problems. Show all necessary solutions. Box and label your final answer.

1. If a population has a mean of 13.5, what is the mean of the sampling distribution of its means?

2. If the mean of the sampling distribution of the means is 10.5, what is the mean of the
population?

3. If the population standard deviation is 2.4, what is the variance of the sampling distribution of its
means? The sampling distribution was derived with sample size n = 4 and all the possible samples
are drawn with replacements.

4. A manufacturer of light bulbs produces bulbs that last a mean of 950 hours with a standard
deviation of 120 hours. What is the probability that the mean lifetime of a sample of 10 of these
bulbs is less than 900 hours?

5. The average public high school has 468 students with a standard deviation of 87.
a. If a public school is selected, what is the probability that the number of students enrolled is
greater than 400?

b. If a random sample of 38 public elementary schools is selected, what is the probability that
the number of students enrolled is between 445 and 485?

6. An electrical company claims that the average life of the bulbs it manufactures is 1 200 hours
with a standard deviation of 250 hours. If a random sample of 100 bulbs is chosen, what is the
probability that the sample mean will be:

a. greater than 1 150 hours?

b. less than 1 250 hours?

c. between 1 150 and 1 250 hours?
