The shape of the distribution of the time required to get an oil change at a
10​-minute

​oil-change facility is unknown.​ However, records indicate that the mean time is
11.8 minutes​,

and the standard deviation is
4.6 minutes.

​(a) To compute probabilities regarding the sample mean using the normal​ model, what size sample would be​ required?


Choose the required sample size below.







A.


The sample size needs to be less than 30.






B.


Any sample size could be used.






C.


The sample size needs to be greater than 30.


Your answer is correct.




D.


The normal model cannot be used if the shape of the distribution is unknown.





​(b) What is the probability that a random sample of
n=40

oil changes results in a sample mean time less than
10

​minutes?


The probability is approximately
0.00670.0067.


​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)

​(c) Suppose the manager agrees to pay each employee a​ $50 bonus if they meet a certain goal. On a typical​ Saturday, the​ oil-change facility will perform
40

oil changes between 10 A.M. and 12 P.M. Treating this as a random​ sample, at what mean​ oil-change time would there be a​ 10% chance of being at or​ below? This will be the goal established by the manager.


There would be a​ 10% chance of being at or below

minutes.

​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)
