The mean number of words per minute (WPM) typed by a speed typist is 119 with a standard deviation of 15 WPM. What is the probab

ility that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by greater than 4.1 WPM if 33 speed typists are randomly selected? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answer:

the probability that the sample mean would differ is 0.1164

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability is shown below

= 1 - P(Within 4.1 WPM)

= 1 - P( -4.1 ÷ 15÷ √3 <z < 4.1 ÷ 15÷ √3)

= 1 - P(-1.57 < z < 1.57)

= 1 - 0.8836

= 0.1164

Hence, the probability that the sample mean would differ is 0.1164

Therefore the same would be applied and relevant
