A manufacturer produces 25-pound lifting weights. The lowest actual weight is 24 pounds, and the highest is 26 pounds. Each weight is equally likely so the distribution of weights is uniform. A sample of 100 weights is taken.

a) What is the distribution for the sum of the weights of 100 25-pound lifting weights?

b) Find P(Σx < 2,450).

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The distribution of the mean weight of the given pounds is;

∑X~N(2500,57.735/100)

b. The probability P∑X<2450of is zero.

Step by step solution

01

Given information part(a)

Given in the question that

A manufacturer produces 25-pound lifting weights

The lowest actual weight is 24 pounds

Highest is 26 pounds

02

Solution part(a)

Explanation:

The uniform distribution for lowest 2400pounds and the highest 2600pounds the weight are given as;

localid="1649393005338" X-U(a,b)

X−U(2400,2600)

The mean of the uniform distribution is;

μx=a+b2

=2400+26002

=2500

The standard deviation is;

σx=(b−a)212

=(2600−2400)212

=57.735

The mean weight is;

∑X~NμX,σX/n

03

Given information part(b)

Given in the question that

A manufacturer produces 25-pound lifting weights

The lowest actual weight is 24-pounds

Highest is 26pounds

04

Solution Part (b)

The formula for calculating probability is;

P∑X<2450

The percent of fat calories that a person in America consumes each day is normally distributed with a mean of about 36and a standard deviation of about ten. Suppose that 16individuals are randomly chosen. Let role="math" localid="1648361500255" X¯=average percent of fat calories.

a. X¯~_____ (______, ______)

c. Find the first quartile for the average percent of fat calories.

Based on data from the National Health Survey, women between the ages of 18and 24have an average systolic blood pressures (in mm Hg) of 114.8with a standard deviation of 13.1. Systolic blood pressure for women between the ages of 18to 24follow a normal distribution.

a. If one woman from this population is randomly selected, find the probability that her systolic blood pressure is greater than 120.

b. If40women from this population are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean systolic blood pressure is greater than 120.

c. If the sample were four women between the ages of18to 24 and we did not know the original distribution, could the central limit theorem be used?
