In: Statistics and Probability
he score distribution shown in the table is for all students who took a yearly AP statistics exam. An AP statistics teacher had 41 students preparing to take the AP exam. Though they were obviously not a random sample, he considered his students to be "typical" of all the national students. What's the probability that his students will achieve an average score of at least 3? Score Percent of students 5 12.1 4 22.6 3 24.3 2 18.1 1 22.9 The probabability that his students will achieve an average score of at least 3 is nothing . (Round to four decimal places as needed.).
X | P(X) | X*P(X) | X² * P(X) |
5 | 0.121 | 0.605 | 3.025 |
4 | 0.226 | 0.904 | 3.616 |
3 | 0.243 | 0.729 | 2.1870 |
2 | 0.181 | 0.362 | 0.7240 |
1 | 0.229 | 0.2290 | 0.2290 |
mean = E[X] = Σx*P(X) =
2.82900
E [ X² ] = ΣX² * P(X) =
9.7810
variance = E[ X² ] - (E[ X ])² =
1.7778
std dev = √(variance) =
1.3333
==================
µ = 2.829
σ = 1.333
n= 41
X = 3
Z = (X - µ )/(σ/√n) = ( 3
- 2.829 ) / ( 1.333 /
√ 41 ) =
0.821
P(X ≥ 3 ) = P(Z ≥
0.82 ) = P ( Z <
-0.821 ) = 0.2058
