The sick days of employees every two years in a company are normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 7 days and an unknown population mean. If a random sample of 20 employees is taken and results in a sample mean of 21 days, find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]$X_1, X_2, X_3,$[/tex] . . . ,Xn be the random sample of n employee's sick days. It is given that the random samples follows the  Normal distribution along with standard deviation of 7 days. Let

[tex]X_i\sim N(\mu ,7)[/tex]

[tex]\bar{X} =\frac{1}{n}\Sigma X_i\sim N(\mu,\frac{7}{\sqrt n})[/tex]

or   [tex]Z=\frac{\bar{X}-\mu}{7 /\sqrt n} \sim N(0,1)[/tex]

So,

[tex]P(-Z_{\alpha /2} \leq Z\leq Z_{\alpha /2} ) = 1- \alpha[/tex]

[tex]P(-Z_{\alpha /2} \leq \frac{\bar{X}- \mu}{7 / \sqrt n}\leq Z_{\alpha /2} ) = 1- \alpha[/tex]

[tex]P(\bar{X}-\frac{7}{\sqrt n} Z_{\alpha / 2} \leq \mu \leq \bar{X}+\frac{7}{\sqrt n} Z_{\alpha / 2} ) = 1- \alpha[/tex]

Therefore, the confidence interval of the population mean for α = 0.05 is

= [tex]P(\bar{X}-\frac{7}{\sqrt n} Z_{\alpha / 2} , \bar{X}+\frac{7}{\sqrt n} Z_{\alpha / 2} )[/tex]

= [tex]P(21-\frac{7}{\sqrt 20} Z_{0.05 / 2} , 21+\frac{7}{\sqrt 20} Z_{0.05 / 2} )[/tex]

= (17.93, 24.07)

In a particular town, 20% of the homes have monitored security systems. If an alarm is triggered, the security system company will contact the local police to alert them of the alarm. Of all the alarm calls that the local police receive, they only have the manpower to answer 30% of the calls. Suppose we randomly sample one home that was broken into over the last month from this town. What is the probability that this home has a monitored security system and that the police answered the alarm call?
