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
