Exact answer as a fraction = 1/3

Approximate answer in decimal form = 0.333

Approximate answer as a percentage = 33.3%

=====================================================

Explanation:

Check out the attached image below. It shows the various dice sums that add to either 4, 5 or 6. We have 12 occurrences total out of 6*6 = 36 overall giving 12/36 = 1/3 as the probability. This is in fraction form. As a decimal, 1/3 = 0.333 approximately which covers over to 33.3%

Answer:

a) $P(0.11$

And we can find this probability with this difference and with the normal standard table or excel:

$P(-1.11$

b) $P(0.11 < \bar X < 0.13)$

And we can use the z score defined by:

$z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

And using the limits we got:

$z = \frac{0.11-0.12}{\frac{0.009}{\sqrt{4}}}= -2.22$

$z = \frac{0.13-0.12}{\frac{0.009}{\sqrt{4}}}= 2.22$

And we want to find this probability:

$P(-2.22< Z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the resitances of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(0.12,0.009)$

Where $\mu=0.12$ and $\sigma=0.009$

We are interested on this probability

$P(0.11$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(0.11$

And we can find this probability with this difference and with the normal standard table or excel:

$P(-1.11$

Part b

We select a sample size of n =4. And since the distribution for X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:
