A sample size 25 is picked up at random from a population which is normally distributed with a mean of 100 and variance of 36. Calculate-
(a) P-{ X<99}
(b) P{98X

a) P(X < 99) = 0.2033.

b) P(98 < X < 100) = 0.4525

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 normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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 p-value, 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 and standard deviation , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation .

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

Mean of 100 and variance of 36.

This means that

Sample of 25:

This means that

(a) P(X<99)

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 99. So

By the Central Limit Theorem

has a pvalue of 0.2033. So

P(X < 99) = 0.2033.

b) P(98 < X < 100)

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 100 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 98. So

X = 100

has a pvalue of 0.5

X = 98

has a pvalue of 0.0475

0.5 - 0.0475 = 0.4525

So

P(98 < X < 100) = 0.4525
