Thompson and Thompson is a steel bolts manufacturing company. Their current steel bolts have a mean diameter of 144 millimeters, and a variance of 49 . If a random sample of 46 steel bolts is selected, what is the probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by more than 2 millimeters? Round your answer to four decimal places.

0.0524 = 5.24% probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by more than 2 millimeters.

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 establishes 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 diameter of 144 millimeters, and a variance of 49.

This means that

Sample of 46:

This means that

Wat is the probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by more than 2 millimeters?

Above 144 + 2 = 146 or below 144 - 2 = 142. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, these probabilities are equal, which means that we find one of them and multiply by two.

Probability the sample mean is below 142:

p-value of Z when X = 142, so:

By the Central Limit Theorem

has a p-value of 0.0262

2*0.0262 = 0.0524

0.0524 = 5.24% probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by more than 2 millimeters.

i'm assuming you need to figure out how many campers go into each tent.

i got the answer by:

24+4=28

28/4=7  

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
