Avg difficulty 2.5


For each problem, wherever possible, provide graphs and use a calculator.

Your company has a contract to perform preventive maintenance on thousands of air conditioners in a large city. Based on service records from previous years, the time that a technician spends servicing a unit averages one hour with a standard deviation of one hour. In the coming week, your company will service a simple random sample of 70 units in the city. You plan to budget an average of 1.1 hours per technician to complete the work. Will this be enough time?
