Assume that the heights of adult Caucasian women have a mean of 63.6 inches and a standard deviation of 2.5 inches. If 100 women

are randomly​ selected, find the probability that they have a mean height greater than 63.0 inches. Round to four decimal places.

Answer:

0.9918 = 99.18% probability that they have a mean height greater than 63.0 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have 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, which is also called standard error s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 63.6, \sigma = 2.5, n = 100, s = \frac{2.5}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.25

Find the probability that they have a mean height greater than 63.0 inches.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 63. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{63 - 63.6}{0.25}

Z = -2.4

Z = -2.4 has a pvalue of 0.0082

1 - 0.0082 = 0.9918

0.9918 = 99.18% probability that they have a mean height greater than 63.0 inches.

What is the weekly gross pay?
romanna [79]
You want to multiply 40 hours by the regular hourly pay which would be $9.14,
9.14*40= 365.6

Overtime is generally 1.5 times regular pay so take 9.14*1.5= 13.71 and this would be your overtime hourly rate

Regular hourly rate (1x) : $9.14
Overtime hourly rate (1.5x): $13.71

Take your 8 hours of OT and multiply it by 13.71
13.71*8= 109.68

Add 365.6 and 109.68 to get a final answer of 475.28. The answer would've been C
