Assume that females have pulse rates that are normally distributed with a mean of beats per minute and a standard deviation of beats per minute. a. If 1 adult female is randomly selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is between beats per minute and beats per minute.
b. If 4 adult females are selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean between 68 beats per minute and 76 beats per minute.
c. Why can the normal distribution be used in heartbeat even the sample side does not exceed 30?

a) This is the p-value of Z when X = A subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = B.

b) P-value of Z when X = 76 subtracted by the p-value of X = 68.

c) Because the underlying distribution(pulse rates of females) is normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

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

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes 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 question:

Mean $\mu$ , standard deviation $\sigma$ .

standard deviation of beats per minute.

a. If 1 adult female is randomly selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is between A beats per minute and B beats per minute.

This is the p-value of Z when X = A subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = B.

b. If 4 adult females are selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean between 68 beats per minute and 76 beats per minute.

Sample of 4 means that we have $n = 4, s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{4}} = 0.5\sigma$

The formula for the z-score is:

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

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{0.5\sigma}$

$Z = 2\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

This probability is the p-value of Z when X = 76 subtracted by the p-value of X = 68.

c. Why can the normal distribution be used in heartbeat even the sample side does not exceed 30?

Because the underlying distribution(pulse rates of females) is normal.
