Question: The average age for licensed drivers in the county is \(\mu =40.3\) years, with a standard deviation of \(\sigma =13.2\)

  1. A researcher obtained a random sample of n = 16 parking tickets and computed an average age of \(M =38.9\) years for the drivers. Compute the \(z\) -score for the sample mean and find the probability of obtaining an average age this young or younger for a random sample of licensed drivers. Is it reasonable to conclude that this set of \(n=16\) people is a. representative sample of licensed drivers?
  2. The same researcher obtained a random sample of \(n=36\) speeding tickets and computed an average age of \(M=36.2\) years for the drivers Compute the \(z\) -score for the sample mean and find the probability of obtaining an average age this young or younger for a random sample of licensed drivers. Is it reasonable to conclude that this set of \(n=36\) people is a representative sample of licensed drivers?
