Suppose that samples of sizeare selected at random from a normal population with mean 100 and standard deviation 10. What is the probability that the sample mean falls in the interval from
to
?
I'm not sure if I did this correctly, have I made any mistakes?
x =
= 2
then for the lower interval I get 100-2.2(2) = 95.6
and for the upper interval 100+1.2(2) = 102.4
So P(95.6 < X < 102.4) --> P((95.6 - 100)/2 < Z < (102.4-100)/2) -->
P(-2.2 < Z < 1.2) --> P(1.2) - P(-2.2) and from the Z chart
0.884930 - 0.013903 = 0.871027
