the highway fuel economy of a 2016 lexus rx 350 fwd 6 cyinder 3.5l automatic 5 speed using premium fuel is a normally distributed random variable with a mean of u=22.0 mpg and a standard deviation of o=1.25 mpg. 1. what is the standard error of x , the mean from a random sample of 25 fill ups by one driver? 2. within what interval would you expect the sample to fall, with 98 percent probability

Expert Solution

Solution:

Given:

X ~ Normal

Part a) what is the standard error of x , the mean from a random sample of 25 fill ups by one driver?

n = sample size= 25

Standard Error is given by formula:

Part b) Within what interval would you expect the sample to fall, with 98 percent probability ?

That is find sample mean values in which all sample mean fall with 98% probability.

First find z values such that:

P( -z < Z < z) = 0.98

Area between -z and +z is 0.98 then total area below +z is:

Area = ( 1 + 0.98) /2 = 1.98 / 2 = 0.9900

Thus look in z table for Area = 0.9900 or its closest area and find corresponding z critical value.

Area 0.9901 is closest to 0.9900 , thus corresponding z value is 2.3 and 0.03

Thus z = 2.33

Thus use following formula to find and

and

Thus within 21.42 and 22.58 we would expect the sample to fall, with 98 percent probability.
