The scores on the GMAT entrance exam at an MBA program in the Central Valley of California are normally distributed with a mean

score of 591 with a standard deviation of 42. What is the probability that a randomly selected application will report a GMAT score of less than 600? What is the probability that a sample of 50 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600? What is the probability that a sample of 100 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600?

Answer:

58.32% probability that a randomly selected application will report a GMAT score of less than 600

93.51%  probability that a sample of 50 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600

98.38% probability that a sample of 100 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600

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 \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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 \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

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:

\mu = 591, \sigma = 42

What is the probability that a randomly selected application will report a GMAT score of less than 600?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 600. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{600 - 591}{42}

Z = 0.21

Z = 0.21 has a pvalue of 0.5832

58.32% probability that a randomly selected application will report a GMAT score of less than 600

What is the probability that a sample of 50 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600?

Now we have n = 50, s = \frac{42}{\sqrt{50}} = 5.94

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 600. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{600 - 591}{5.94}

Z = 1.515

Z = 1.515 has a pvalue of 0.9351

93.51%  probability that a sample of 50 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600

What is the probability that a sample of 100 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600?

Now we have n = 50, s = \frac{42}{\sqrt{100}} = 4.2

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{600 - 591}{4.2}

Z = 2.14

Z = 2.14 has a pvalue of 0.9838

98.38% probability that a sample of 100 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

280 + 5(–5) + (–42) + 2(75) + (–200)

280 - 25 - 42 + 150 - 200

280 - 67 + 150 - 200

280 - 67 - 50

213 - 50

= $163
