Math Problem Statement

A randam sample size 100 is taken from a infinite Population having mean 76 and variance 256 what is probability that s

Solution

The problem seems to involve finding the probability of a sample mean lying within a certain range. However, the question is incomplete. Could you clarify what specific probability you're looking for? For example:

  • Are you asking for the probability that the sample mean falls within a specific interval?
  • Are you asking about the sampling distribution of the sample mean?
  • Is there a specific value or range for which you want the probability calculated?

In the meantime, here's some helpful information:

Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean:

  1. Population Mean (μ\mu): 76
  2. Population Variance (σ2\sigma^2): 256
    Thus, σ=256=16\sigma = \sqrt{256} = 16
  3. Sample Size (nn): 100

The sample mean (Xˉ\bar{X}) for a random sample of size nn from a population with mean μ\mu and standard deviation σ\sigma follows a normal distribution (Central Limit Theorem applies due to the large sample size): XˉN(μ,σn)\bar{X} \sim N\left(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\right)

XˉN(76,16100)=N(76,1.6)\bar{X} \sim N\left(76, \frac{16}{\sqrt{100}}\right) = N(76, 1.6)

Using this information, probabilities can be calculated based on the standard normal distribution.


Let me know the range or specific probability you need, and I’ll calculate it! 😊


Follow-up Questions:

  1. What interval or range are you interested in for the sample mean?
  2. Should we find a one-tailed or two-tailed probability?
  3. Do you want to see the full process for converting to a zz-score?
  4. Would you like to explore the concept of the Central Limit Theorem in more detail?
  5. Do you need help calculating similar probabilities for other scenarios?

Tip: Always check whether the population is finite or infinite when applying statistical formulas. In this case, the assumption of an infinite population simplifies the calculations.
