Explanation / Answer

a)

We first get the z score for the critical value. As z = (x - u) / s, then as          
          
x = critical value =    99.13      
u = mean =    103.65      
          
s = standard deviation =    4.52      
          
Thus,          
          
z = (x - u) / s =    -1      
          
Thus, using a table/technology, the left tailed area of this is          
          
P(z <   -1   ) =    0.158655254 = 16% [ANSWER]

****************

b)

There are 5 items out of 53 less than 99.13.

Hence,

P = 5/53 = 0.094339623 = 9.4% [ANSWER]

****************

c)

As parts a and b are no equal, then

OPTION D: No, because the normal model is not appropriate. [ANSWER]
