The cost of rental for a two-bedroom apartment in a particular suburb is normally distributed with a mean of $2600 per month and a standard deviation of $450.

What is the probability that a randomly selected two-bedroom apartment in this suburb will cost less than $2300 per month?

X=2300
U=2600
Standard Deviation 450

2300-2600/450 = -0.67 on Z table is 0.2514 the probability that the random selected 2 bedroom apartment will cost les than $2300
per month is 0.2514%.



If monthly rents for a random sample of 9 apartments in this suburb is selected, what is the probability that the
mean rent for this sample is greater than $2400?

X=2400
U=2600
Q= 450 2400-2600/450= -0.44 on Z table is 0.3300%
the probability that mean rent of 9 apartment in a selected suburb will cost greater than $2400 is 0.3300..


An appropriate, well labelled diagram
must be included for each part.

Only 5% of apartments will cost more than $
x per month. Find x. i cannot figured tjis one out plus need correction if am right..


A local radio station wants to survey the population in their listening area on a particular issue. They ask people to call in and give their opinion regarding the issue.
From these calls the radio station draws a conclusion stating that the population in their listening area has this belief.
Explain the pitfalls in this type of sampling.


It a biased sample.
second it going to be one side based on the response from people.
Not accurate the response on the issue might not include the entire population.
sample error.
