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.

Komok [63]
By looking at this scatter plot you can see that 2 people bowled above their average, 1 person bowled the same number for their average and their highest score (this person bowled 200 as their highest score as well as their average), and the biggest difference between someones high score and their average is one person has 200 for their bowling average, but only 175 for their high score. Everyone else's high scores and averages are about the same.
