In: Statistics and Probability
Consider a population of 300 with a mean of 55 and a standard deviation equal to 22.
What is the probability of obtaining a sample mean of 57 or less from a sample of 35?
Solution :
Given that ,
mean = 
 = 55
standard deviation = 
 = 22
n = 35

= 55

=
  /
n = 22/ 
35=3.72
P(
<57 ) = P[(
- 
) / 
< (57-55) /3.72 ]
= P(z <0.54 )
Using z table
= 0.7054
