Answer:
P(111.2-cm < ¯ x < 111.4-cm) = 0.4726
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:
Find the probability that the average length of a randomly selected bundle of steel rods is between 111.2-cm and 111.4-cm.
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 111.4 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 111.2. So
X = 111.4
By the Central Limit Theorem
has a pvalue of 0.5.
X = 111.2
has a pvalue of 0.0274.
0.5 - 0.0274 = 0.4726
P(111.2-cm < ¯ x < 111.4-cm) = 0.4726
ANSWER
0.1
EXPLANATION
We want to estimate the quotient of 1.64 ÷ 22.
To do this, we will approximate the two numbers to whole number and solve it.
It becomes:
2 ÷ 20
That is:
Note: since 2 cannot be divided by 20, we write 0. and add a 0 to the back of 2.
The estimate of the quotient is 0.1.
