# Sampling Distributions help

Hi, I'm teaching myself stats but have no idea on how to solve these, any help would be appreciated.

When a pizza restaurant’s delivery process is operating effectively, pizzas are delivered in an average of 45 minutes with a standard deviation of 6 minutes. Suppose each night, 9 deliveries are selected at random and their delivery times are recorded. For the sake of argument, assume that the pizza deliveries are normally distributed.

1) What is the probability that the average time for the sample mean each night is within 2 minutes of the population mean?

2) What is the probability that the average time for the sample mean each night is within 2.5 minutes of the mean?

3) What is the probability that the average time for the sample mean is within 4 minutes of the mean?

A study was conducted to estimate the cost of employee absences. Based on this research, the amount of paid-time lost over a 3 month period was found to be normally distributed with a mean of 1.5 days and a standard deviation of 2.5 days. A sample of 100 employees was taken, find

4) The probability that the sample mean is greater than 1.6 days?

5) The probability that the sample mean is within a ½ day of the population mean?

6) The probability that the sample mean is between 1.35 and 1.85 days?

7) Suppose a population is normally distributed with a mean of 5,000 and a standard devation of 1,000. A sample of size 100 is taken, what is the standard error?

This forum is F*cking useless, never logging in again.
So, you wont mind being banned for life then?
Don't come to this forum without showing any effort and expect answers straight away. This is a free service, maintained by members who are generally pretty busy.

If you want to hang around, fine. Show some effort and lose the attitude otherwise I will ban you.

They aren't easy if you have no idea how to start. I was just put off by the horrible attitude. I would have posted my typical homework help response though (although somewhat modified) if I would have read the thread before they decided to insult the community as a whole.

Good idea BGM, we seem to need it pretty often.

It is a button for me in my browser but I don't really have the ability to add buttons to the forum. We could probably make a request to quark in the forum feedback section though.

Express indeed (verbose or expedience?)
