Question 363826
A business school claims that the average income of graduates of this school three years after graduation is $700.
a. If the claim is correct and if incomes are normally distributed with a standard deviation of $60, what is the probability that 36 randomly selected graduates have an average income of less than $675?
---
t(675) = (675-700)/[60/sqrt(36)] = -2.5
---
P(x-bar < 675) = P(t < -2.5 when df=36) = tcdf(-100,-2.5,35) = 0.0086
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b. If a random sample of 36 graduates had an average weekly income of $675, what would you conclude about the validity of the claim?
Pretty rare occurrence.
