7.3 Exercise 9

Avg difficulty 2.5

U.S. scientists studying a certain medical condition discovered that a new person is diagnosed every two minutes, on average. Suppose the standard deviation is 0.5 minutes and the sample size is 100.

  1. Find the median, the first quartile, and the third quartile for the sample mean time of diagnosis in the United States.
  2. Find the median, the first quartile, and the third quartile for the sum of sample times of diagnosis in the United States.
  3. Find the probability that a diagnosis occurs on average between 1.75 and 1.85 minutes.
  4. Find the value that is two standard deviations above the sample mean.
  5. Find the IQR for the sum of the sample times.
