Astudy of the amount of time it takes a mechanic to rebuild the transmission for a 1992 chevrolet cavalier states that the mean is 8.4 hours with standard deviation 1.8 hours. if 40 mechanics are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean rebuild time exceeds 8.6 hours

The probability that their mean rebuild time exceeds at 8.7 hours is;z(8.7) = (8.7-8.4)/[1.8/sqrt(40)] = 1.0541
P(x-bar > 8.7) = P(z > 1.0541) = normal cdf (1.0541,100) = 0.1459
If 40 mechanics are randomly selected, the probability that their mean rebuild time exceeds at 8.7 hours is 0.1459.
The answer in this question is 0.1459

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
