  • Mean of Occurring Population

    Denote by Xbar the sample mean with sample size n=35. Then Xbar should follow roughly a Normal Distribution with mean 76 and standard deviation sigma=14/sqrt(35)=2.366. Hence, P(Xbar>=79)=P([Xbar-76)/2.366>=1.268) Let Z=(Xbar-76)/2.366.

  • Probability of a Type 2 Error

    Rejection region: z > z = z0.05 = 1.645 (look up in normal Table) So we have z = (xbar-) / (/n) = (xbar-18) / (10/200) > 1.645 (xbar-18) > [1.645*(10/200)] (xbar-18)> [1.645*0.70711] (xbar-18) > 1.1632 xbar > 1.1632+18 xbar > 19.1632

  • The Distribution and Probability of Xbar

    Note that Z=(Xbar-0)/5~N(0,1).

  • Probability of Mosquitoes Per Square Meter

    Denote by Xbar the average of those counts. Then Xbar follows a normal distribution with mean mu=80 and standard deviation sigma/sqrt(16)=8/4=2. So, P(Xbar>81.6) =P((Xbar-80)/2>0.8) Let Z=(Xbar-80)/2. Then Z follows N(0, 1).

  • The Probability of an Average Diameter of Sand Dollars

    Denote by Xbar the average diameter of those sand dollars. Then Xbar follows a normal distribution with mean mu=3.00 and standard deviation sigma/sqrt(9)=0.70/3=0.267. So, P(Xbar>2.79) =P((Xbar-3)/0.267>-0.9) Let Z=(Xbar-3)/0.267.

  • Chebyshev's theorem and normal distribution

    Calculate and show the percentage of data from xbar - 2s..to..xbar + 2s using Chebyshev's theorem.

  • Z-score of sample means

    Let Xbar be the sample mean. Then Xbar follows a normal distribution with mean of 100 and standard deviation of sigma'= 20/root 43=3.05.

  • Working with probability in the given situation given x-bar and sample size.

    Now the size of sample is n=1000, we know that Xbar~N(a,b^2/n), ie., Xbar~N(160000,2529.822^2).

  • Probability of Selecting a Single Observation

    Let Xbar be the sample mean. Then Xbar follows a normal distribution with mean=106, and standard deviation=12/sqrt(16)=12/4=3. So, Z=(Xbar-106)/3~N(0,1).

  • Confidence Intervals

    : the formula for the confidence interval is (xbar-s/sqrt(n)*z , xbar+s/sqrt(n)*z) where xbar, s and n are sample mean, sample standard deviation and sample size, respectively.
