Chapter 7: Q. 7.5 (page 407)

An unknown distribution has a mean of 45 and a standard deviation of eight. A sample size of 50 is drawn randomly from the population. Find the probability that the sum of the 50 values is more than 2,400.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that the sum of the 50 values is more than 2400 isP鈭�X>2400=0.0040.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given,

The value of Mean is 45.

The value of Standard deviation is8

n=50

Formula used:

鈭�X~N(n)渭x,(n)蟽x
02

Find the chance that the total of the 50 values is greater than 2400.

According to the information provided, a sample size of 50 people was chosen at random from a population with a mean of 45 and a standard deviation of 8. Use a Ti-83 calculator to compute the chance that the total of 50 values is larger than 2400. To do so, go to 2nd, then DISTR, and then scroll down to the normalcdf option and fill in the required information. After that, press the calculator's ENTER key to get the desired result. The screenshot is as follows:

As a result, the likelihood of the sum of 50 values being more than 2400:

=1-0.99599=0.0040

Find the sum that is 1.5 standard deviations below the mean of the sums.

An unknown distribution has a mean of 45 and a standard deviation of eight. Samples of size n=30are drawn randomly from the population. Find the probability that the sample mean is between 42 and 50.

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?

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.

Find the 90th percentile for the total weight of the 100 weights.

Certain coins have an average weight of 5.201grams with a standard deviation of 0.065g. If a vending machine is designed to accept coins whose weights range from 5.111g to 5.291g, what is the expected number of rejected coins when 280randomly selected coins are inserted into the machine?
