he final exam grade of a statistics class has a skewed distribution with mean of 78 and standard deviation of 7.8. If a random sample of 30 students selected from this class, then what is the probability that average final exam grade of this sample is between 75 and 80?
Solution :
Given that,
mean = = 78
standard deviation = = 7.8
n=30
= 78
= / n = 7.8/ 30=1.4241
= P(75< <80 ) = P[(75 - 78) / 1.4241 < ( - ) / < (80 - 78) /1.4241 )]
= P( -2.11< Z <1.40 )
= P(Z <1.40 ) - P(Z <-2.11 )
Using z table,
=0.9192 -0.0174
= 0.9018
