(a) give the mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean x. mean 105 correct: your answer is correct. standard deviation 2.4 correct: your answer is correct. (b) find the probability that x exceeds 112. (round your answer to four decimal places.)

Respuesta :

(a) is already answered.

(b) The random variable X is normally distributed with mean μ=105 and standard deviation σ =2.4. Use the transformation [tex] \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} [/tex] for calculating the probability. This value is called Z-score.

The Z score is [tex] Z=\frac{112-105}{2.4} =2.9167 [/tex].

Refer to the standard normal distribution table.

The probability

[tex] P(X>112)=P(Z>2.9167)=1-P(Z<2.9167)=0.0018

[/tex]
