The mean number of pets per household is 3.45 with standard deviation 2.0. A sample of 48 households is drawn. Find the 44th percentile of the sample mean. A) 4.28 B) 4.11 C) 3.41 D) 2.65
Given that,
mean = = 3.45
standard deviation = = 2
n = 48
= 3.45
= / n = 2/48=0.29
Using standard normal table,
P(Z < z) = 44%
= P(Z <-0.15 ) = 0.44
z =-0.15 Using standard normal table,
Using z-score formula
= z * +
= -0.15*0.29+3.45
= 3.41
