Given a normal distribution with muequals50 and sigmaequals4, and given you select a sample of n equals 100. What is the probability that Upper X overbar is above 50.1?
Solution :
Given that,
mean = = 50
standard deviation = = 4
n = 100
= 50
= / n = 4 100 = 0.4
P ( > 50.1 )
= 1 - P ( < 50.1 )
= 1 - P ( - /) < (50.1 - 50 /0.4)
= 1 - P( z < 0.1 / 0.4 )
= 1 - P ( z < 0.25 )
Using z table
= 1 - 0.5987
= 0.4013
Probability = 0.4013
