Answer:

11.5

Step-by-step explanation:

(8+10+15+8+12+13+12+14)/8

=(8+12+8+12+13+10+15+14)/8

=(20+20+23+29)/8

=(40+52)/8

=92/8

=11.5

It appears that people who are mildly obese are less active than leaner people. One study looked at the average number of minute

NemiM [27]

Answer:

a) 10.93% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes.

b) 99.22% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 lean people exceeds 420 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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.

Mildly obese

Normally distributed with mean 373 minutes and standard deviation 67 minutes. So $\mu = 373, \sigma = 67$

A) What is the probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes?

So $n = 5, s = \frac{67}{\sqrt{5}} = 29.96$

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 410.

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

$Z = \frac{410 - 373}{29.96}$

$Z = 1.23$

$Z = 1.23$ has a pvalue of 0.8907.

So there is a 1-0.8907 = 0.1093 = 10.93% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes.

Lean

Normally distributed with mean 526 minutes and standard deviation 107 minutes. So $\mu = 526, \sigma = 107$
