What is the probability that the investment property selected is worth between $450000 and $600000?(c)[7 marks]
What is the value of a particular investment property if only 10% of all investment properties are more valuable than this property?(d)[5 marks]

Question 3 [13 marks]
A leading company chemically treats its product before packaging. The company monitors the weight of product per hour that each machine treats. A simple random sample of 25 one hour periods from one machine was taken. The results in kilos are shown below:16591170841917218451175361859817253146241758916625110581663319718192191842117976179381680318830201092115115139199331821618523(a)[9 marks]
Can the company conclude that the mean kilo of product treated in one hour by this machine is more than 15000? Use a 5% level of significance.(b)[4 marks]
What assumptions must be made for the test to be valid?
