According to the 2019 National Apartment List Rent Report, the average two-bedroom apartment rent in New Jersey is $1,531. A random sample of 39 apartments in New Jersey was selected. Using a population standard deviation of $227, what is the probability that the sample mean will be greater than $1,450
Solution :
Given that ,
mean = = 1531
standard deviation = = 227
= / n = 227 / 39 = 36.3491
P( > 1450) = 1 - P( < 1450)
= 1 - P[( - ) / < (1450 - 1531) / 36.3491]
= 1 - P(z < -2.23)
= 1 - 0.0129
= 0.9871
Probability = 0.9871
