. The time taken by a randomly selected applicant for a mortgage to fill out a certain form has a normal probability distribution with average time 10 minutes and a standard deviation of 2 minutes. If five individuals fill out the form on Day 1 and six individuals fill out the form on Day 2, what is the probability that the sample average time taken is less than 11 minutes for BOTH days?

Probability that the sample average time taken is less than 11 minutes for Day 1 is 0.86864.

Probability that the sample average time taken is less than 11 minutes for Day 2 is 0.88877.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the time taken by a randomly selected applicant for a mortgage to fill out a certain form has a normal probability distribution with average time 10 minutes and a standard deviation of 2 minutes.

Also, five individuals fill out the form on Day 1 and six individuals fill out the form on Day 2.

(a) Let $\bar X$ = sample average time taken

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean time = 10 minutes

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 2 minutes

n = sample of individuals fill out form on Day 1 = 5

Now, the probability that the sample average time taken is less than 11 minutes for Day 1 is given by = P( $\bar X$ < 11 minutes)

P( $\bar X$ < 11 minutes) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{11-10}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{5} } }$ ) = P(Z < 1.12) = 0.86864

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.12 in the z table which has an area of 0.86864.

(b) Let $\bar X$ = sample average time taken

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean time = 10 minutes

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 2 minutes

n = sample of individuals fill out form on Day 2 = 6

Now, the probability that the sample average time taken is less than 11 minutes for Day 2 is given by = P( $\bar X$ < 11 minutes)

P( $\bar X$ < 11 minutes) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{11-10}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{6} } }$ ) = P(Z < 1.22) = 0.88877

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.22 in the z table which has an area of 0.88877.
