. Exam scores for a large introductory statistics class follow an approximate normal distribution with an average score of 56 an

d a standard deviation of 5. The average exam score in your lab was 59.5. The 20 students in your lab sections will be considered a random sample of all students who take this class. What is the probability that the average score of a random sample of 20 students exceeds 59.5?

Answer:

0.1% probability that the average score of a random sample of 20 students exceeds 59.5.

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}}

Normal probability distribution

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:

\mu = 56, \sigma = 5, n = 20, s = \frac{5}{\sqrt{20}} = 1.12

What is the probability that the average score of a random sample of 20 students exceeds 59.5?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 59.5. So

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

Z = \frac{59.5 - 56}{1.12}

Z = 3.1

Z = 3.1 has a pvalue of 0.9990.

So there is a 1-0.9990 = 0.001 = 0.1% probability that the average score of a random sample of 20 students exceeds 59.5.

Three pencils cost 75p altogether. how much will it cost to buy 6 pencils?
Svetllana [295]
The cost for six pencils would be a total of 150p
The reason why is if three pencils cost 75p and you want to know what the cost of six, since three is half of six you would do this (if 3=75p then 3*2=75p*2 which is 6=150p). As shown, you multiply each side by 2 or double each side
