1.
a. The score on the entrance exam at a well-known, exclusive law school are normally distributed with a mean score of 200 and a standard deviation equal to 50. At what value should the lowest passing score be set if the school wishes only 2.5 percent of those taking the test to pass?
b. A machine is used to cut a metal automobile part to its desired length. The machine can be set so that the mean lengths of the part will be any value that is desired. The standard deviation of the lengths always runs at .02 inches. Where should the mean be set if want only .4 percent of the parts cut by the machine to be shorter than 15 inches long?
2.
Independent random samples were taken from normal distributions of the yearly production of ships built by the International Ship Building Company under (1) a fixed-position layout and (2) a project layout. The results are given in the accompanying table. Test the null hypothesis that the mean for the fixed-position layout is equal to that for the project layout. Use .05 for the level of significance.
Fixed-position layout 8 0 1 5 1 5 1
Project layout 6 1 1 1 4 4 4
