Life Expectancies In a study of the life expectancy of people in a certain geographic region, the mean age at death was years an

d the standard deviation was years. If a sample of people from this region is selected, find the probability that the mean life expectancy will be less than years. Round intermediate -value calculations to decimal places and round the final answer to at least decimal places.

Answer:

The probability that the mean life expectancy of the sample is less than X years is the p-value of Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}, in which \mu is the mean life expectancy, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

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 normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes 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.

We have:

Mean \mu, standard deviation \sigma.

Sample of size n:

This means that the z-score is now, by the Central Limit Theorem:

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

Find the probability that the mean life expectancy will be less than years.

The probability that the mean life expectancy of the sample is less than X years is the p-value of Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}, in which \mu is the mean life expectancy, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

Why is the second survey more belivable than the first?
Anika [276]
As it says, the second one even it surveys fewer gamers, but their yearly income is verified, which are accurate, unlike the first one, where the gamers only report their income, which is not 100% true. some people may fake the number. therefore, the second one is more accurate and believable.
