2. A study of past participants indicates that the mean length of time spent on
the program is 500 hours and that this normally distributed random
variable has a standard deviation of 100 hours.
a. What is the probability that a participant selected at random will
require more than 500 hours to complete the program?
b. What is the probability that a candidate selected at random will
take between 500 and 650 hours to complete the training program?
c. What is the probability that a candidate selected at random will
take more than 700 hours to complete the program?
d. Suppose the training-program director wants to know the
probability that a participant chosen at random would require
between 550 and 650 hours to complete the required work.
e. What is the probability that a candidate selected at random will
require fewer than 580 hours to complete the program?
4. Given below is a table which contains responses from working women for
two variables, stress and life satisfaction. Working women have indicated
how stressed they feel and how satisfied they feel with life. Using this
data compute correlation.

8.
a) A principal at a certain school claims that the students in his school are
above average intelligence. A random sample of thirty students IQ scores
have a mean score of 95. Is there sufficient evidence to support the
principal’s claim? Mean population IQ is 100 with standard deviation of
15 (4.5)
b) Blood glucose levels for obese patients have a mean of 100 with a
standard deviation of 15. A researcher thinks that a diet high in raw
cornstarch will have a positive or negative effect on blood glucose levels.
Sample of 30 patients have mean glucose level of 140. Test the
hypothesis that the raw cornstarch had an effect. (4.5)
