Answer:
73.30% probability that the sampling error made in estimating the mean amount of coffee for all 8-ounce jars by the mean of a random sample of 100 jars will be at most 0.02 ounce
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need 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 and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
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 normally distributed random variable X, with mean and standard deviation
, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
.
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
In this problem, we have that:
What is the probability that the sampling error made in estimating the mean amount of coffee for all 8-ounce jars by the mean of a random sample of 100 jars will be at most 0.02 ounce?
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 8.2 + 0.02 = 8.22 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 8.2 - 0.02 = 8.18. So
X = 8.22
By the Central Limit Theorem
has a pvalue of 0.8665
X = 8.18
has a pvalue of 0.1335
0.8665 - 0.1335 = 0.7330
73.30% probability that the sampling error made in estimating the mean amount of coffee for all 8-ounce jars by the mean of a random sample of 100 jars will be at most 0.02 ounce
You can consider the triangle (as on in the picture) and apply to it composition of two transformations:
1. reflection about the line y=x to form ΔA'B'C' and translation 1 unit right and 5 units up to form ΔA''B''C'';
2. translation 1 unit right and 5 units up to form ΔA'B'C' and reflection about the line y=x to form ΔA''B''C''.
You can see that results are different.
On added picture blue colour responds to composition of transformations 1 and red colour to composition of transformations 2.
1. reflection about the line y=x to form ΔA'B'C' and translation 1 unit right and 5 units up to form ΔA''B''C'';
2. translation 1 unit right and 5 units up to form ΔA'B'C' and reflection about the line y=x to form ΔA''B''C''.
