The mean output of a certain type of amplifier is 183 watts with a variance of 121. If 78 amplifiers are sampled, what is the probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 1.7 watts? Round your answer to four decimal places.

0.8278 = 82.78% probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 1.7 watts

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation(which is the square root of the variance) $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ ;

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 183, \sigma = \sqrt{121} = 11, n = 78, s = \frac{11}{\sqrt{78}} = 1.2455$

Probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 1.7 watts?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 183+1.7 =184.7 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 183 - 1.7 = 181.3.

X = 184.7

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{184.7 - 183}{1.2455}$

Z = 1.365

Z = 1.365 has a pvalue of 0.9139

X = 181.3

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{181.3 - 183}{1.2455}$

Z = -1.365

Z = -1.365 has a pvalue of 0.0861

0.9139 - 0.0861 = 0.8278

0.8278 = 82.78% probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 1.7 watts

You can find the area of a rectangle by multiplying the length and height. so multiply 1/2*7/4(which is the simpler version of 1 3/4) and you get 7/8 as your answer.

Amachine that produces a special type of transistor (a component of computers) has a 2% defective rate. the production is considered a random process where each transistor is independent of the others. (a) what is the probability that the 10th transistor produced is the first with a defect? (b) what is the probability that the machine produces no defective transistors in a batch of 100? (c) on average, how many transistors would you expect to be produced before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (d) another machine that also produces transistors has a 5% defective rate where each transistor is produced independent of the others. on average how many transistors would you expect to be produced with this machine before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (e) based on your answers to parts (c) and (d), how does increasing the probability of an event aâ†µect the mean and standard deviation of the wait time until success?
