For a random variable that is normally distributed, with μ = 80 and σ = 10, determine the probability that a simple random sample of 25 items will have a mean between 78 and 85?

	a.	83.51%
	b.	15.87%
	c.	99.38%
	d.	84.13%

Expert Solution

Solution :

Given that ,

mean = = 80

standard deviation = =10

n = 25

= 80

= / $\sqrt$ n= 10/ $\sqrt$ 25=2

P(78< <85 ) = P[(78 -80) / 2< ( - ) / < (85-80) / 2)]

= P(-1 < Z < 2.5)

= P(Z <2.5 ) - P(Z <-1 )

Using z table

=0.9938 - 0.1587

=0.8351

=83.51%

The caffeine content of a cup of coffee in the cafeteria is a normally distributed random variable with μ = 130 mg and σ = 30 mg.

The caffeine content of a cup of coffee in the cafeteria is a normally distributed random variable with μ = 130 mg and σ = 30 mg. What is the probability that a randomly chosen cup of coffee will have more than 130 mg? Less than 100 mg? Between 90 mg and 150 mg? If the cup of coffee was the strongest 5% in caffeine content (hint: think about whether this would be above or below the mean), how many...
