What is the probability that a random sample of 29 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 97 days or less?
The probability that the mean of a a random sample of 29 pregnancies is less than 97 days is approximately.
Please show formula and work that is easy to understand, thank you!
Solution :
Given that,
mean =
= 101
standard deviation =
= 10
n = 29
= 101
=
/
n = 10/
29=1.86
P(
< 97) = P[(
-
) /
< (97-101) /1.86 ]
= P(z < -2.15)
Using z table
=0.0158
probability=0.0158
