A random sample is drawn from a normally distributed population with mean μ = 23 and standard deviation σ = 2.6. [You may find it useful to reference the z table.]
a. Are the sampling distribution of the sample mean with n = 31 and n = 62 normally distributed?
Yes, both the sample means will have a normal distribution.
No, both the sample means will not have a normal distribution.
No, only the sample mean with n = 31 will have a normal distribution.
No, only the sample mean with n = 62 will have a normal distribution.
b. Calculate the probabilities that the sample mean is less than 23.7 for both sample sizes. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places, “z” value to 2 decimal places, and final answer to 4 decimal places.)
a) Option-A) Yes, both the sample means will have a normal distribution.
b)
= P(Z < 1.50)
= 0.9332
n = 62
= P(Z < 2.12)
= 0.9830
