Question

(A), (b) and (C)

Suppose \( x \) has a distribution with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 27. Random samples of size \( n = 36 \) are drawn.

---

(a) Describe the \( \bar{x} \) distribution and compute the mean and standard deviation of the distribution.

\( \bar{x} \) has a \(\_\_\_\_\_\) distribution with mean \( \mu_{\bar{x}} = \_\_\_\_\_\) and standard deviation \( \sigma_{\bar{x}} = \_\_\_\_\_\).

---

(b) Find the \( z \) value corresponding to \( \bar{x} = 45.5 \).

\( z = \_\_\_\_\_\)

---

(c) Find \( P(\bar{x} < 45.5) \). (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

\( P(\bar{x} < 45.5) = \_\_\_\_\_\)

---

(d) Would it be unusual for a random sample of size 36 from the \( x \) distribution to have a sample mean less than 45.5? Explain.

- \( \circ \) Yes, it would be unusual because more than 5% of all such samples have means less than 45.5.

- \( \circ \) Yes, it would be unusual because less than 5% of all such samples have means less than 45.5.

- \( \bullet \) No, it would not be unusual because more than 5% of all such samples have means less than 45.5.

- \( \circ \) No, it would not be unusual because less than 5% of all such samples have means less than 45.5.

Expert Solution
Step 1

According to the given scenario, X has a distribution with a mean of 50 and s.d. 27

So, X~N(50,2.72)

Random sample of n=36 are drawn.

The sample mean is x
