Answer:

There is a 11.51% probability that the sample mean will be larger than 1224.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

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

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \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.

In this problem, we have that:

The sat scores have an average of 1200 with a standard deviation of 120. This means that \mu = 1200, \sigma = 120.

A sample of 36 scores is selected. what is the probability that the sample mean will be larger than 1224?

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1224.

By the central limit theorem, we have that:

s = \frac{120}{\sqrt{36}} = 20

So

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

Z = \frac{1224 - 1200}{20}

Z = 1.2

Z = 1.2 has a pvalue of 0.8849.

This means that there is a 1-0.8849 = 0.1151 = 11.51% probability that the sample mean will be larger than 1224.

We first standardise \bar{x}:
P(1224 > \bar{x})=P(\frac{1224-1200}{\frac{120}{ \sqrt{36} }}>\frac{\bar{x}-1200}{\frac{120}{\sqrt{36}}})
which reduces to finding P(Z > 1.2) = 0.115

Yolanda is going to watch a movie in her collection. She has 3 action movies, 4 comedies, and 5 dramas.
andre [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability=(number of specific outcomes)/(total number of outcomes)

Since there are 4 comedies and 3+4+5=12 total movies

P(C)=4/12=1/3
