Question: Television viewing reached a new high when the Nielsen Company reported a mean daily viewing time of 8.35 hours per household (USA Today). Use a normal probability distribution with a standard deviation of 2.5 hours to answer the following questions about daily television viewing per household.
1: What is the probability that a household views television less than 7 hours?
2: What is the probability that a household views television between 7 and 8 hours a day?
3: How many hours of television viewing must a household have in order to be in the top 5% of all television viewing households?
Lori Jeffery is a successful sales representative for a major publisher of college textbooks. Historically, Lori obtains a book adoption on 25% of her sales calls. Viewing her sales calls for one month as sample of all possible sales calls, assume that a statistical analysis of the data yields a standard error of the proportion of 0.0625.
4: What is the probability that Lori will obtain bock adoptions on 35% or more of her sales calls during a one-month period?
