Suppose babies born in a large hospital have a mean weight of 4088 grams, and a variance of 55,696
If 128 babies are sampled at random from the hospital, what is the probability that the mean weight of the sample babies would be greater than 4132 grams? Round your answer to four decimal places.
µ = 4088
σ = 236
n= 128
X = 4132
Z = (X - µ )/(σ/√n) = ( 4132
- 4088 ) / ( 236 /
√ 128 ) =
2.109
P(X ≥ 4132 ) = P(Z ≥
2.11 ) = P ( Z <
-2.109 ) = 0.0175
(answer)
excel formula for probability from z score is
=NORMSDIST(Z)
