Thursday--a little help

22a)  13.7%
22b)  31.9"
22c)  What's shape?  ______
What's the mean?  _____
What's the sd? ______ (hint:  something divided by the square root of something)
22d)  0.005

24a)  skewed right--you can't stay for less than zero and a few people will stay a long time.
24b)  The CLT will guarantee normality for large sample sizes.  For individuals, we don't have a clue how to calculate probabilities for skewed distributions.

28a)  4.78%
28b)  (1 - 0.0478)^3 = 0.863
28c)  Like 22c above...
28d)  Basically zero
