(c) Why should you expect the probability of part (b) to be higher than that of part (a)? (Hint: Consider the standard deviations in parts (a) and (b).) The standard deviation of part (b) is smaller thanpart (a) because of the largersample size. Therefore, the distribution about is narrower Need Help?Explanation / Answer
Solution :
Given that ? = 24 , ? = 20
(a) Given that n = 32
?x-bar = 24
?x-bar = ?/sqrt(n) = 20/sqrt(32) = 3.54
P(24 <= x-bar <= 26) = P((x - ?x-bar)/?x-bar <= Z <= (x - ?x-bar)/?x-bar)
= P((24 - 24)/3.54 <= Z <= (26 - 24)/3.54)
= P(0 <= Z <= 0.5650)
= 0.2157
(b) Given that n = 65
?x-bar = 24
?x-bar = ?/sqrt(n) = 20/sqrt(65) = 2.48
P(24 <= x-bar <= 26) = P((x - ?x-bar)/?x-bar <= Z <= (x - ?x-bar)/?x-bar)
= P((24 - 24)/2.48 <= Z <= (26 - 24)/2.48)
= P(0 <= Z <= 0.8065)
= 0.2910
