A 2017 Toyota Corolla costs an average of $17755 in BC. The standard deviation of prices is $650. Suppose a random sample of 30 dealerships in BC is taken, and the managers are asked what price they'll charge for a 2017 Corolla.

a. What is the probability of getting a sample average cost less than 17500?

c. For your sample of 30 dealerships, the sample average lies between which two values with 80% chance?

Low

High

PART B

Marketing Companies are turning to mobile media for new opportunities. A recent study by IBM shows that 46% of all maketers conduct transactions on mobile websites. Suppose a random sample of 300 marketing companies is taken.

b. Now suppose a random sample of 800 marketing companies is taken. What is the probability that 51% or more of marketing companies in the sample are using a mobile website?
