Using the normal distribution, the probabilities are given as follows:
a. 0.4602 = 46.02%.
b. 0.281 = 28.1%.
Normal Probability Distribution
The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
- The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
- Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.
- By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
The parameters are given as follows:
[tex]\mu = 959, \sigma = 263, n = 37, s = \frac{263}{\sqrt{37}} = 43.24[/tex]
Item a:
The probability is one subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 984, hence:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{984 - 959}{263}[/tex]
Z = 0.1
Z = 0.1 has a p-value of 0.5398.
1 - 0.5398 = 0.4602.
Item b:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{984 - 959}{43.24}[/tex]
Z = 0.58
Z = 0.58 has a p-value of 0.7190.
1 - 0.719 = 0.281.
