In: Statistics and Probability
There is a test which is normally distributed with a mean of 30 and a standard deviation of 4. Find the probability that a sample of 36 scores will have a mean at most 31.5.
Solution :
Given that ,
mean =
= 30
standard deviation =
= 4
n = 36
=
= 30
=
/
n = 4 /
36 = 0.667
P(
31.5 ) = P((
-
) /
(31.5 - 30) / 0.667 )
= P(z
2.25)
Using z table
= 0.9878
