A study of college football games shows that the number of holding penalties assessed has a mean of 2.2 penalties per game and a standard deviation of 0.8 penalties per game. What is the probability that, for a sample of 40 college games to be played next week, the mean number of holding penalties will be 2 penalties per game or less

5.71% probability that, for a sample of 40 college games to be played next week, the mean number of holding penalties will be 2 penalties per game or less

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use 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 question, we have that:

$\mu = 2.2, \sigma = 0.8, n = 40, s = \frac{0.8}{\sqrt{40}} = 0.1265$

What is the probability that, for a sample of 40 college games to be played next week, the mean number of holding penalties will be 2 penalties per game or less

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 2. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{2 - 2.2}{0.1265}$

Z = -1.58

Z = -1.58 has a pvalue of 0.0571

5.71% probability that, for a sample of 40 college games to be played next week, the mean number of holding penalties will be 2 penalties per game or less

The median of a data set is the measure of center that is found by adding the data values and dividing the total by the number of data values that is the value that occurs with the greatest frequency that is the value midway between the maximum and minimum values in the original data set that is the middle value when the original data values are arranged in order of increasing (or decreasing) magnitude
