The probability that a randomly selected time interval is longer than 112 minutes is approximately , (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (b) What is the probability that a random sample of 12 time intervals between eruptions has a mean longer than 112 minutes? The probability that the mean of a random sample of 12 time intervals is more than 112 minutes is approximately (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (c) What is the probability that a random sample of 38 time intervals between eruptions has a mean longer than 1 12 minutes? The probability that the mean of a random sample of 38 time intervals is more than 112 minutes is approximately (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (d) What effect does increasing the sample size have on the probability? Provide an explanation for this result. Choose the correct answer below. O A. The probability increases because the variability in the sample mean increases as the sample size increases. ()B. The probability decreases because the variability in the sample mean decreases as the sample size increases. OC. The probability decreases because the variability in the sample mean increases as the sample size increases, O D. The probability increases because the variability in the sample mean decreases as the sample size increases. (e) What might you conclude if a random sample of 30 time intervals between eruptions has a mean longer than 112 minutes? Choose the best answer below. A. The population mean is 100 minutes, and this is an example of a typical sampling B. The population mean must be less than 100, since the probability is so low. () C. The population mean cannot be 100, since the probability is so low. O D. The population mean may be greater than 100
