The mean preparation fee H&R Block charged retail customers in 2012 was $183 (The Wall Street Journal, March 7, 2012). Use t

his price as the population mean and assume the population standard deviation of preparation fees is $50. Use z-table here (link below). Round to four decimal places.
a. What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 H&R Block retail customers is within $8 of the population mean?
b. What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 H&R Block retail customers is within $8 of the population mean?
c. What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 H&R Block retail customers is within $8 of the population mean?
d. Which, if any, of the sample sizes in parts (a), (b), and (c) would you recommend to have at least a 0.95 probability that the sample mean is within $8 of the population mean?

Answer:

a)0.6192

b)0.7422

c)0.8904

d)at least 151 sample is needed for 95% probability that sample mean falls within 8$ of the population mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let z(p) be the z-statistic of the probability that the mean price for a sample is within the margin of error. Then

z(p)=\frac{ME*\sqrt{N}}{s } where

  • Me is the margin of error from the mean
  • s is the standard deviation of the population
  • N is the sample size

a.

z(p)=\frac{8*\sqrt{30}}{50 } ≈ 0.8764

by looking z-table corresponding p value is 1-0.3808=0.6192

b.

z(p)=\frac{8*\sqrt{50}}{50 } ≈ 1.1314

by looking z-table corresponding p value is 1-0.2578=0.7422

c.

z(p)=\frac{8*\sqrt{100}}{50 } ≈ 1.6

by looking z-table corresponding p value is 1-0.1096=0.8904

d.

Minimum required sample size for 0.95 probability is

N≥(\frac{z*s}{ME} )^2 where

  • N is the sample size
  • z is the corresponding z-score in 95% probability (1.96)
  • s is the standard deviation (50)
  • ME is the margin of error (8)

then N≥(\frac{1.96*50}{8} )^2 ≈150.6

Thus at least 151 sample is needed for 95% probability that sample mean falls within 8$ of the population mean.
