(a) If you bring your car into a service station to have the fuel pump replaced, what is the probability that it will take more than 2 hours? Ans (c) If you wish to have only a 5% probability that your car will not be ready when you go to pick it up, how long after the work is started should you return to the service station?

Ans QUESTION 6 [8 Marks] (a) Nine cars of the same model were driven in an identical manner, using one gallon of unleaded gasoline. The mean distance travelled by the 9 cars was 19 miles, with a standard deviation of 2.7 miles. Establish a 0.95 confidence interval estimate of the average mileage per gallon for this car model. Ans to The management of a manufacturing concern wishes to determine the average time required to complete a certain manual operation. There should be 0.95 confidence that the error in the estimate will not exceed 2 minutes. What sample size is required if the standard deviation of the time needed to complete the manual operation is estimated by a time and motion expert as 10 minutes. Ans. 97
4 4 QUESTION 7 [8 Marks] Air Canada finds that only 90% of all persons making reservations actually show up for their flight.
