Answer:

0.8278 = 82.78% probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 1.7 watts

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation(which is the square root of the variance) \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}};

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 183, \sigma = \sqrt{121} = 11, n = 78, s = \frac{11}{\sqrt{78}} = 1.2455

Probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 1.7 watts?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 183+1.7 =184.7 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 183 - 1.7 = 181.3.

X = 184.7

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{184.7 - 183}{1.2455}

Z = 1.365

Z = 1.365 has a pvalue of 0.9139

X = 181.3

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{181.3 - 183}{1.2455}

Z = -1.365

Z = -1.365 has a pvalue of 0.0861

0.9139 - 0.0861 = 0.8278

0.8278 = 82.78% probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 1.7 watts

Angelina_Jolie [31]
The 8 pack of 1 quart bottles of lemonade is the higher price unit because 4 gallons equal 16 quarts. 16 divided by 2= 8 and 24 divided by 2 =12 dollars. so therefore 8 quarts of "lovin lemon" company is $12 and 8 quarts of "sweet and sour" company is $16 so THE ANSWER IS: "SWEET AND SOUR" COMPANY HAS THE HIGHER UNIT RATE.
