QUESTION 13
A normally distributed population has a mean of 98.47 and a
standard deviation of 0.45. Determine the sample avergage that is
the third quartile for samples of size 195.
Round to the nearest hundredth
QUESTION 14
A normally distributed population has a mean of 112 and a standard
deviation of 24. Determine the value of the sample average at the
25th percentile for samples of siz 140.
Round to the nearest tenth
QUESTION 15
A normally distributed population has a mean of 95 and a standard
deviation of 23. Determine the value of the sample average at the
75th percentile for samples of siz 61.
Round to the nearest tenth
Answer 13
given that mean = 98.47, standard deviation = 0.45, sample size n = 195 and z score for third quartile or 75th percentile is 0.674 (using percentile table)
using the formula , x(bar) is the required sample mean
this implies
Answer 14
given that mean = 112, standard deviation = 24, sample size n = 140 and z score for 25th percentile is -0.674 (using percentile table)
using the formula , x(bar) is the required sample mean
this implies
Answer 15
given that mean = 95, standard deviation = 23, sample size n = 61 and z score for 75th percentile is 0.674 (using percentile table)
using the formula , x(bar) is the required sample mean
this implies
