56. Topten is a leading source of energy-efficient products. Their list of the top seven vehicles in terms
of fuel efficiency for 2017 includes three Hondas.
a) Determine the probability distribution for the number of Hondas in a sample of two cars chosen
from the top seven.
b) What is the likelihood that in the sample of two at least one Honda is included?
58. Listed below is the population by state for the 15 states with the largest population. Also included

is the probability that:
a) None of the state selected has any coastline?

62. An internal study by the Technology Services department at Lahey Electronics revealed company
employees receive an average of two non-work-related e-mails per hour. Assume the arrival of these
emails is approximated by the Poisson distribution.
a) What is the probability Linda Lahey, company president, received exactly one non-work-
related-e-mail between 4 P.M. and 5 P.M. yesterday?
b) What is the probability she received five or more non-work-e-mails during the same period?
c) What is the probability she did not receive any non-work-related-e-mail during the period?

48. A study of long distance phone calls made from General Electric Corporate Headquarters in
Fairfield, Connecticut, revealed the length of the calls, in minutes, follows the normal probability
distribution. The mean length of time per call was 4.2 minutes and the standard deviation was 0.60
minute.
a) What is the probability that calls last between 4.2 and 5 minute?
b) What is the probability that calls last more than 5 minute?
c) What is the probability that calls last between 5 and 6 minute?
d) What is the probability that calls last between 4 and 6 minute?
e) As part of her report to the president, the director of communications would like to report the
length of the longest (in duration) 4% of the calls. What is this time?

54. Fast Service Truck Lines uses the Ford Super Duty F-750 exclusively. Management made a study
of the maintenance costs and determined the number of miles traveled during the year followed the
normal distribution. The mean of the distribution was 60,000 miles and the standard deviation 2,000
miles.
a) What percent of the Ford Super Duty F-750s logged 65,200 miles or more?
b) What percent of the trucks logged more than 57,060 but less than 58,280 miles?
c) What percent of the Fords traveled 62,000 miles or less during the year?
d) Is it reasonable to conclude that any of the trucks were driven more than 70,000 miles? Explain.
70. A carbon monoxide detector in the Wheelock household activates once every 200 days on average.
Assume this activation follows the exponential distribution. What is the probability that:
a) There will be an alarm within the next 60 days?
b) At least 400 days will pass before the next alarm?
c) It will be between 150 and 250 days until the next warning?
d) Find the median time until the next activation

22. Based on all student records at Camford University, students spend an average of 5.5 hours per
week playing organized sports. The population’s standard deviation is 2.20 hours per week. Based
on a sample of 121 students, Healthy Lifestyles Incorporated (HLI) would like to apply the central
limit theorem to make various estimates.
a) Compute the standard error of the sample mean.
b) What is the chance HLI will find a sample mean between 5 and 6 hours?
c) Calculate the probability that the sample mean will be between 5.3 and 5.7 hours.
d) How strange would it be to obtain a sample mean greater than 6.5 hours?

32. Majesty Video Production Inc. wants the mean length of its advertisements to be 30 seconds.
Assume the distribution of ad length follows the normal distribution with a population standard
deviation of 2 seconds. Suppose we select a sample of 16 ads produced by Majesty.
a) What can we say about the shape of the distribution of the sample mean time?
b) What is the standard error of the mean time?
c) What percent of the sample means will be greater than 31.25 seconds?
d) What percent of the sample means will be greater than 28.25 seconds?
e) What percent of the sample means will be greater than 28.25 but less than 31.25 seconds?

42. Human Resource Consulting surveyed a random sample of 60 Twin Cities construction companies
to find information on the costs of their health care plans. One of the items being tracked is the
annual deductible that employees must pay. The Minnesota Department of Labor reports that
historically the mean deductible amount per employee is $502 with a standard deviation of $100.

a) Compute the standard error of the sample mean for HRC.

b) What is the chance HRC finds a sample mean between $477 and $527?
c) Calculate the likelihood that the sample mean is between $492 and $512.
d) What is the probability the sample mean is greater than $550?

32. A state meat inspector in Iowa has been given the assignment of estimating the mean net weight of
packages of ground chuck labeled “3 pounds.” Of course, he realizes that the weights cannot be
precisely 3 pounds. A sample of 36 packages reveals the mean weight to be 3.01 pounds, with a
standard deviation of 0.03 pounds.
a) What is the estimated population mean?
b) Determine a 95 % confidence interval for the population mean.

36. The American Restaurant Association collected information on the number of meals eaten outside
the home per week by young married couples. A survey of 60 couples showed the sample mean
number of meals eaten outside the home was 2.76 meals per week, with a standard deviation of 0.75
meal per week. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean.

38. The Human Relations Department of Electronics Inc. would like to include a dental plan as part of
the benefits package.The question is: How much does a typical employee and his or her family spend
per year on dental expenses? A sample of 45 employees reveals the mean amount spent last year
was $1,820, with a standard deviation of $660.
a) Construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the population mean.
b) The information from part (a) was given to the president of Electronics Inc. He indicated he
could afford $1,700 of dental expenses per employee. Is it possible that the population mean
could be $1,700? Justify your answer.
