The weights of college football players follows a normal distribution with mean 225 pounds and standard deviation 23 pounds. A random sample of 25 college football players is taken and the sample mean (Ybar) is computed. Calculate the following:

1. the mean of Ybar
2. the standard deviation of Ybar
3. the probability that Ybar will be greater than 235 pounds
4. the probability that the weight of a single randomly selected college football player will be greater than 235 pounds

1) 225 pounds

2) 4.6 pounds

3) 1.50% Ybar will be greater than 235 pounds

4) 33.36% probability that the weight of a single randomly selected college football player will be greater than 235 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal probability distribution

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

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , 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:

$\mu = 225, \sigma = 23, n = 25, s = \frac{25}{\sqrt{25}} = 4.6$

1. the mean of Ybar

By the Central Limit Theorem, 225 pounds

2. the standard deviation of Ybar

By the Central Limit Theorem, 4.6 pounds

3. the probability that Ybar will be greater than 235 pounds

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 235. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{235 - 225}{4.6}$

Z = 2.17

Z = 2.17 has a pvalue of 0.9850

1 - 0.9850 = 0.0150

1.50% Ybar will be greater than 235 pounds

4. the probability that the weight of a single randomly selected college football player will be greater than 235 pounds

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 235. So

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

$Z = \frac{235 - 225}{23}$

Z = 0.43

Z = 0.43 has a pvalue of 0.6664

1 - 0.6664 = 0.3336

33.36% probability that the weight of a single randomly selected college football player will be greater than 235 pounds

you should talk someone who owns the website about it. you did not deserve to have all that hard work and time taken away. id watch videos of little puppies to cool you down, and maybe some nacho cheese doritos.
