Answer:
0.0524 = 5.24% probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by more than 2 millimeters.
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 normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the z-score of a measure X is given by:
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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean and standard deviation
, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
.
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
Mean diameter of 144 millimeters, and a variance of 49.
This means that
Sample of 46:
This means that
Wat is the probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by more than 2 millimeters?
Above 144 + 2 = 146 or below 144 - 2 = 142. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, these probabilities are equal, which means that we find one of them and multiply by two.
Probability the sample mean is below 142:
p-value of Z when X = 142, so:
By the Central Limit Theorem
has a p-value of 0.0262
2*0.0262 = 0.0524
0.0524 = 5.24% probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by more than 2 millimeters.
Answer:
Slope(m) = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The line passes through (1,3) and (4,-3)
Slope(m) = change in y ÷ change in x
m = =
= -2
