Using the <u>normal distribution and the central limit theorem</u>, it is found that there is an approximately 0% probability that the total number of candies Kelly will receive this year is smaller than last year.
Normal Probability Distribution
In a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation
, the z-score of a measure X is given by:
- It 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, which is the percentile of X.
- By the Central Limit Theorem, for n instances of a normal variable, the mean is
while the standard deviation is
.
In this problem:
- Mean of 4 candies, hence
.
- Standard deviation of 1.5 candies, hence
.
- She visited 35 houses, hence
The probability is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 122</u>, hence:
By the Central Limit Theorem
has a p-value of 0.
Approximately 0% probability that the total number of candies Kelly will receive this year is smaller than last year.
