Using the normal distribution, we have that:
- The distribution of X is
.
- The distribution of
is
.
- 0.0597 = 5.97% probability that a single movie production cost is between 55 and 58 million dollars.
- 0.2233 = 22.33% probability that the average production cost of 17 movies is between 55 and 58 million dollars. Since the sample size is less than 30, assumption of normality is necessary.
The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean and standard deviation
is given by:
- The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
- Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.
- By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation
.
In this problem, the parameters are given as follows:
Hence:
- The distribution of X is
- The distribution of
The probabilities are the <u>p-value of Z when X = 58 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 55</u>, hence, for a single movie:
X = 58:
Z = 0.05.
Z = 0.05 has a p-value of 0.5199.
X = 55:
Z = -0.1.
Z = -0.1 has a p-value of 0.4602.
0.5199 - 0.4602 = 0.0597 = 5.97% probability that a single movie production cost is between 55 and 58 million dollars.
For the sample of 17 movies, we have that:
X = 58:
Z = 0.19.
Z = 0.19 has a p-value of 0.5753.
X = 55:
Z = -0.38.
Z = -0.38 has a p-value of 0.3520.
0.5753 - 0.3520 = 0.2233 = 22.33% probability that the average production cost of 17 movies is between 55 and 58 million dollars. Since the sample size is less than 30, assumption of normality is necessary.
