A tobacco company claims that the amount of nicotene in its cigarettes is a random variable with mean 2.2 and standard deviation

.3 mg. However, the sample mean nicotene content of 100 randomly chosen cigarettes was 3.1 mg. What is the approximate probability that the sample mean would have been as high or higher than 3.1 if the company’s claims were true?

Answer:

0% probability that the sample mean would have been as high or higher than 3.1 if the company’s claims were true.

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 normally distributed samples are 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.

Central limit theorem

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 s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 2.2, \sigma = 0.3, n = 100, s = \frac{0.3}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.03

What is the approximate probability that the sample mean would have been as high or higher than 3.1 if the company’s claims were true?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3.1. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{3.1 - 2.2}{0.03}

Z = 30

Z = 30 has a pvalue of 1.

1 - 1 = 0

0% probability that the sample mean would have been as high or higher than 3.1 if the company’s claims were true.

Line AB contains points A (−6, 3) and B (2, −5). Line AB has a slope that is
nirvana33 [79]
Slope of a line contatining the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

so slope between (-6,3) and (2,-5) is
(-5-3)/(2-(-6))=(-8)/(2+6)=-8/8=-1

the slope is -1

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

First, plot the y-intercept. This is (0, -8)

So, go down -8 units from the origin (0,0).

Now, go down 3 and right 1 units from -8, until you reach the bottom. Do the same thing from -8 but up 3 and left 1 unit.

This is what it should look like:
