a population has a mean of 300 and a standard deviation of 18. a sample of 144 observations will be taken. what is the probability that the sample mean will be between 295 to 305?



Answer :

The probability that the sample mean will be between 295 to 305 is  0.99921

Since we are given that the mean is 300  and the standard deviation of  18 and we were given a total of 144 observations.A z-score gives you a thought of how distant from the mean a data point is. A z-score can be put on a normal distribution curve. Z In arrange to utilize a z-score, you wish to know the mean μ additionally the population standard deviation σ.

The formula  we are referring to for calculating the  Zscore is :

Zscore = (x - mean) ÷ σ/√n

At first, let x be = 295, so  the

Zscore = (295 - 300) / (18/12) = - 3.33

The probability for zscore for z<-3.33  is,

=>P(Z< - 3.33) = 0.00039

Similarly for the  second part x  305, Sp

The Zscore will be  (305 - 300) / (18/12) = 3.33

so the probability of z<3.33

=>P(Z< 3.33) = 0.9996

so the probability of mean between the range 295 to 305

P(Z < 3.33) - P(Z < - 3.33)

=0.9996-0.00039

= 0.99921
