Answer:

a) The mean of a sampling distribution of \\ \overline{x} is \\ \mu_{\overline{x}} = \mu = 20. The standard deviation is \\ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{16}{\sqrt{64}}=2.

b) The standard normal z-score corresponding to a value of \\ \overline{x} = 16 is \\ Z = -2.

c) The standard normal z-score corresponding to a value of \\ \overline{x} = 23 is \\ Z = 1.5.

d) The probability \\ P(\overline{x}.

e) The probability \\ P(\overline{x}>23) = 1 - P(Z.

f)  \\ P(16 < \overline{x} < 23) = P(-2 < Z < 1.5) = P(Z.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are dealing here with the concept of <em>a sampling distribution</em>, that is, the distribution of the sample means \\ \overline{x}.

We know that for this kind of distribution we need, at least, that the sample size must be \\ n \geq 30 observations, to establish that:

\\ \overline{x} \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

In words, the distribution of the sample means follows, approximately, a <em>normal distribution</em> with mean, \mu, and standard deviation (called <em>standard error</em>), \\ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

The number of observations is n = 64.

We need also to remember that the random variable Z follows a <em>standard normal distribution</em> with \\ \mu = 0 and \\ \sigma = 1.

\\ Z \sim N(0, 1)

The variable Z is

\\ Z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} [1]

With all this information, we can solve the questions.

Part a

The mean of a sampling distribution of \\ \overline{x} is the population mean \\ \mu = 20 or \\ \mu_{\overline{x}} = \mu = 20.

The standard deviation is the population standard deviation \\ \sigma = 16 divided by the root square of n, that is, the number of observations of the sample. Thus, \\ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{16}{\sqrt{64}}=2.

Part b

We are dealing here with a <em>random sample</em>. The z-score for the sampling distribution of \\ \overline{x} is given by [1]. Then

\\ Z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

\\ Z = \frac{16 - 20}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{64}}}

\\ Z = \frac{-4}{\frac{16}{8}}

\\ Z = \frac{-4}{2}

\\ Z = -2

Then, the <em>standard normal z-score</em> corresponding to a value of \\ \overline{x} = 16 is \\ Z = -2.

Part c

We can follow the same procedure as before. Then

\\ Z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

\\ Z = \frac{23 - 20}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{64}}}

\\ Z = \frac{3}{\frac{16}{8}}

\\ Z = \frac{3}{2}

\\ Z = 1.5

As a result, the <em>standard normal z-score</em> corresponding to a value of \\ \overline{x} = 23 is \\ Z = 1.5.

Part d

Since we know from [1] that the random variable follows a <em>standard normal distribution</em>, we can consult the <em>cumulative standard normal table</em> for the corresponding \\ \overline{x} already calculated. This table is available in Statistics textbooks and on the Internet. We can also use statistical packages and even spreadsheets or calculators to find this probability.

The corresponding value is Z = -2, that is, it is <em>two standard units</em> <em>below</em> the mean (because of the <em>negative</em> value). Then, consulting the mentioned table, the corresponding cumulative probability for Z = -2 is \\ P(Z.

Therefore, the probability \\ P(\overline{x}.

Part e

We can follow a similar way than the previous step.

\\ P(\overline{x} > 23) = P(Z > 1.5)

For \\ P(Z > 1.5) using the <em>cumulative standard normal table</em>, we can find this probability knowing that

\\ P(Z1.5) = 1

\\ P(Z>1.5) = 1 - P(Z

Thus

\\ P(Z>1.5) = 1 - 0.9332

\\ P(Z>1.5) = 0.0668

Therefore, the probability \\ P(\overline{x}>23) = 1 - P(Z.

Part f

This probability is \\ P(\overline{x} > 16) and \\ P(\overline{x} < 23).

For finding this, we need to subtract the cumulative probabilities for \\ P(\overline{x} < 16) and \\ P(\overline{x} < 23)

Using the previous <em>standardized values</em> for them, we have from <em>Part d</em>:

\\ P(\overline{x}

We know from <em>Part e</em> that

\\ P(\overline{x} > 23) = P(Z>1.5) = 1 - P(Z

\\ P(\overline{x} < 23) = P(Z1.5)

\\ P(\overline{x} < 23) = P(Z

\\ P(\overline{x} < 23) = P(Z

Therefore, \\ P(16 < \overline{x} < 23) = P(-2 < Z < 1.5) = P(Z.

Refer to the various selling prices of various homes in a community that follow the normal distribution with mu (population mean
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

0.43715

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using z score calculator

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean = $276,000

σ is the population standard deviation = 32,000

For x = $276,000

z = 276,000 - 276,000/32000

z = 0

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 276000) = 0.5

For x = $325,000

z = 325,000 - 276,000/32000

z = 1.53125

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 325000) = 0.93715

The probability that the next house in the community will sell for between $276,000 and $325,000 is

P(x = 325000) - P(x = 276000)

= 0.93715 - 0.5

= 0.43715

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

11, 17, and 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

x, y, z\\

Lowest number is x

Median is y

Highest number is z

x=11\\y=17\\\\z-x=17\\z-11=17\\z-11+11=17+11\\z=28\\\\x=11\\y=17\\z=28\\\\11, 17, 28
