If a sample of 54 bags of shrimp is randomly selected, what is the probability that the sample mean would differ from the true mean by more than 1.4 dollars? round your ans

Respuesta :

The Probability of the sample mean differing from the true mean by more than 1.4 dollars = 0.8584

What do you mean by Probability?

The degree to which something is likely; the probability that something will occur or will be the case:(1): the likelihood that a specific event will occur (2): the proportion of conceivable outcomes to the number of outcomes in an exhaustive set of equally likely options that result in a specific event. A field of mathematics that focuses on the investigation of probability2: something that is likely to happen (such as an event or circumstance)3: the characteristic or state of being likely

According to the given information:

From this population, a sample of size n = 54 is drawn.

Let [tex]\bar x[/tex] be the mean of sample.

The sampling distribution of the [tex]\bar x[/tex] is approximately normal with

Mean (μ[tex]_\bar x[/tex]) = μ = 42

SD (σ[tex]_\bar x[/tex]) = n = 7

√(54)= 0.95257934441

Find P([tex]\bar x[/tex] The differ from the true mean by less than 1.4)

= P([tex]\bar x[/tex] The  differ from 42 by less than 1.4)

= P(42 - 1.4 <  [tex]\bar x[/tex] < 42 + 1.4 )

= P( 40.6 < [tex]\bar x[/tex] < 19853)

= P ([tex]\bar x[/tex] < 43.4) - P([tex]\bar x[/tex] < 40.6)

=  P[(T - μ[tex]_\bar x[/tex]) /σ[tex]_\bar x[/tex] < (43.4 -42 )/0.95257934441] - P[(T - μ[tex]_\bar x[/tex]) /σ[tex]_\bar x[/tex] < (40.6 -42 )/0.95257934441]

= P(Z < 1.47) - P(Z < - 1.47)

= 0.9292 - 0.0708.. (use z table)

= 0.8584

The likelihood of the sample mean differing from the true mean by more than 1.4 dollars = 0.8584
