Answer:
0% probability of getting a mean temperature of 98.2 degrees F or lower.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean and standard deviation
, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
.
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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.
In this problem, we have that:
Find the probability of getting a mean temperature of 98.2 degrees F or lower.
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 98.2. So
has a pvalue of 0.
So there is a 0% probability of getting a mean temperature of 98.2 degrees F or lower.
You can answer this problem using the midpoint formula, but we can work out the 4th vertex by just logically thinking it through by first drawing out the rhombus on an x-y coordinate plane. I wrote the answer out on paper since it is easier than typing. Let me know if you have any questions.
