1. A population of values has a normal distribution with μ=226.6 and σ=18.8. You intend to draw a random sample of size n=101n=101.
Find the probability that a single randomly selected value is
less than 226.4.
P(X < 226.4) =
Find the probability that a sample of size n=101 is randomly
selected with a mean less than 226.4.
P(x¯ < 226.4) = Enter your answers as
numbers accurate to 4 decimal places.
2. Let X represent the full height of a certain species of tree.
Assume that X has a normal probability distribution with μ=249.8 ft
and σ=9.8 ft.
You intend to measure a random sample of n=250 trees.
What is the mean of the distribution of sample means?
μx¯=
What is the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means
(i.e., the standard error in estimating the mean)?
(Report answer accurate to 4 decimal places.)
