Question 12. LongLast Inc. produces car batteries. The mean life of these batteries is 60 months. The distribution of the battery life closely follows the normal probability distribution with a standard deviation of 8 months. As a part of its testing program, LongLast tests a sample of 25 batteries.
What percentage of the samples will have a mean useful life less than 56 months?

Question 13. A population consists of the following four values: 8, 10, 12, and 16. From this population, there are 6 different samples of size 2. The means of the 6 samples of size 2 are: 9, 10, 12, 11, 13, and 14. Compute the mean of the distribution of the sample means and the population mean.
Compare the two values. What is true about the two values?

Question 14. A research firm conducted a survey to determine the mean amount people spend at a popular coffee shop during a week. They found the amounts spent per week followed a normal distribution with a population standard deviation of $4. A sample of 64 customers revealed that the mean is $25.
