A population has a mean of 200 and a standard deviation of 80.
Suppose a sample of size 125 is selected and is used to estimate .
Use z-table.
- What is the probability that the sample mean will be within +/-
5 of the population mean (to 4 decimals)? (Round z value
in intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
- What is the probability that the sample mean will be within +/-
14 of the population mean (to 4 decimals)? (Round z value
in intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
In the EAI sampling problem, the population mean is $51,500 and
the population standard deviation is $5,000. When the sample size
is n = 30, there is a 0.4161 probability of obtaining a
sample mean within +/- $500 of the population mean. Use
z-table.
- What is the probability that the sample mean is within $500 of
the population mean if a sample of size 60 is used (to 4
decimals)?
- What is the probability that the sample mean is within $500 of
the population mean if a sample of size 120 is used (to 4
decimals)?
