The distribution of the number of people in line at a grocery store has a mean of 3 and a variance of 9. a sample of the numbers of people in line in 50 stores is taken.

(a) calculate the probability that the sample mean is more than 4? round values to four decimal places.
(b) calculate the probability the sample mean is less than 2.5. round answers to four decimal places.
(c) calculate the probability that the the sample mean diﬀers from the population mean by less than 0.5. round answers to four decimal places.

a) $P(\bar X 4)=P(Z\frac{4-3}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{50}}}=2.357)$

P(Z2.357)=1-P(Z

b) $P(\bar X \frac{2.5-3}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{50}}}=-1.179)$

P(Z

$P(2.5 < \bar X< 3.5) = P(\frac{2.5-3}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{50}}}$

P(-1.179 Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the number of people of a population, and for this case we know that:

Where $\mu=3$ and $\sigma=\sqrt{9}=3$

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

And we want to find this probability:

$P(\bar X 4)= P(z \frac{4-3}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{50}}})$

And using a calculator, excel or the normal standard table we have that:

P(Z2.357)=1-P(Z

Part b

$P(\bar X \frac{2.5-3}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{50}}})$

And using a calculator, excel or the normal standard table we have that:

P(Z

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

$P(2.5 < \bar X< 3.5) = P(\frac{2.5-3}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{50}}}$

And using a calculator, excel or the normal standard table we have that:

P(-1.179

step-by-step explanation: the declaration of the rights of man and of the citizen (french: déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen de 1789), set by france's national constituent assembly in 1789, is a human civil rights document from the french revolution.[1]

the declaration was drafted by the abbé sieyès and the marquis de lafayette, in consultation with thomas jefferson.[2] influenced by the doctrine of "natural right", the rights of man are held to be universal: valid at all times and in every place, pertaining to human nature itself. it became the basis for a nation of free individuals protected equally by the law. it is included in the beginning of the constitutions of both the fourth french republic (1946) and fifth republic (1958) and is still current. inspired by the enlightenment philosophers, the declaration was a core statement of the values of the french revolution and had a major impact on the development of freedom and democracy in europe and worldwide.[3]

the 1789 declaration, together with the 1215 magna carta, the 1689 english bill of rights (1689), the 1776 united states declaration of independence, and the 1789 united states bill of rights, inspired in large part the 1948 united nations universal declaration of human rights
