Short Answer

Find the probability that the sum of the $40$ values is less than $7, 000$ .

The probability that the sum of the $40$ values is less than $7000$ is $P (X \leq 7000) = 0.0569$ .

Step 1: Given Information

A mean ( $μ_{x}$ ) is $180$ and a standard deviation $(σ)$ is $20$ .

Step 2: Explanation

To find the probability that the sums of the $40$ values is less than $7000$ :

localid="1649346312817" $\sum X ~ N (n μ_{x}, \sqrt{n} σ_{x})$

$\sum X ~ N ((40) (180), (\sqrt{40}) (20))$

localid="1649346327071" $P (X \leq 7000) = P (Z \leq \frac{X - n μ_{x}}{\sqrt{n} σ_{x}}) = P (Z \leq \frac{7000 - 7200}{126.4911}) = P (Z \leq - 1.5811)$

P (X \leq 7000) = 0.0569

Your company has a contract to perform preventive maintenance on thousands of air-conditioners in a large city. Based on service records from previous years, the time that a technician spends servicing a unit averages one hour with a standard deviation of one hour. In the coming week, your company will serve a simple random sample of 70 units in the city. You plan to budget an average of 1.1 hours per technician to complete the work. Will this be enough time?
