Almost all medical schools in the United States require students to take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). To estimate

the mean score μμ of those who took the MCAT on your campus, you will obtain the scores of an SRS of students. The scores follow a Normal distribution, and from published information you know that the standard deviation is 6.4. Suppose that (unknown to you) the mean score of those taking the MCAT on your campus is 24.
In answering the following, use z-scores rounded to two decimal places.

If you choose one student at random, what is the probability (±±0.0001) that the student's score is between 20 and 30?

You sample 22 students. What is the standard deviation (±±0.01) of sampling distribution of their average score x¯¯¯x¯?

What is the probability (±±0.0001) that the mean score of your sample is between 20 and 30?

Answer:

a) 0.5588

b) 0.9984

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 24

Standard Deviation, σ = 6.4

We are given that the distribution of score is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}        

a) P(score between 20 and 30)

P(20 \leq x \leq 30) = P(\displaystyle\frac{20 - 24}{6.4} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{30-24}{6.4}) = P(-0.62 \leq z \leq 0.94)\\\\= P(z \leq 0.94) - P(z < -0.62)\\= 0.8264 - 0.2676 = 0.5588 = 55.88\%

P(20 \leq x \leq 30) = 55.88\%

b) Sampling distribution

Sample size, n = 22

The sample will follow a normal distribution with mean 24 and standard deviation,

s = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{6.4}{\sqrt{22}} =1.36

c) P(mean score of sample is between 20 and 30)

P(20 \leq x \leq 30) = P(\displaystyle\frac{20 - 24}{1.36} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{30-24}{1.36}) = P(-2.94 \leq z \leq 4.41)\\\\= P(z \leq 4.41) - P(z < -2.94)\\= 1 - 0.0016 = 0.9984 = 99.84\%

P(20 \leq x \leq 30) =99.84\%

A standard card deck has 52 cards consisting of 26 black and 26 red cards. Three cards are dealt from a shuffled​ deck, without
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

6 / 51

Step-by-step explanation:

It is false.

Reason:

The probability of picking a black card at first is:

26 / 52 = 1/2

There are now 25 black cards and 51 cards in total.

The probability of picking another black card, if there's no replacement is now:

25 / 51

Now, there are 24 black cards and 50 cards left in total.

The probability of picking a black card without replacement now becomes:

24 / 50 = 12 / 25

Hence, the probability of picking three black cards without replacement is:

1/2 * 25/51 * 12 / 25 = 300 / 2550

In simplest form, it is 6 / 51
