Suppose that the population mean for income is $50,000, while the population standard deviation is 25,000. If we select a random

sample of 1,000 people, what is the probability that sample will have a mean that is greater than $52,000?

Answer:

Probability that the sample will have a mean that is greater than $52,000 is 0.0057.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the population mean for income is $50,000, while the population standard deviation is 25,000.

We select a random sample of 1,000 people.

<em>Let </em>\bar X<em> = sample mean</em>

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

               Z = \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean = $50,000

            \sigma = population standard deviation = $25,000

            n = sample of people = 1,000

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

So, probability that the sample will have a mean that is greater than $52,000 is given by = P(\bar X > $52,000)

  P(\bar X > $52,000) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } > \frac{52,000-50,000}{\frac{25,000}{\sqrt{1,000} } } ) = P(Z > 2.53) = 1 - P(Z \leq 2.53)

                                                                    = 1 - 0.9943 = 0.0057

<em>Now, in the z table the P(Z </em>\leq<em> x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.53 in the z table which has an area of 0.9943.</em>

Therefore, probability that the sample will have a mean that is greater than $52,000 is 0.0057.

For all 3 to work together, they can paint 1 room per hour.
C.
John can paint a room at 1/4 of a room per hour.
Rick can paint a room at 1/5 of a room per hour.
Together they can paint a room at a rate of 9/20 of rooms per hour.
D.
1 = 1/4j + 1/5r + 11/20m (john, rick, molli)
E. 
The least common denominator is 20
F. 
1 = 1/4(0) + 1/5(0) + 11/20x
1 = 0 + 0 + 11/20x
1 = 11/20x
x = 1/(11/20)
x = 1 9/11 
It will take Molli 1 hour and 49 minutes (60 x 9/11) to paint the room alone.
