Question

Suppose that the average number of Facebook friends users have is normally distributed with a mean of 133 and a standard deviation of about 59. Assume nine individuals are randomly chosen. Answer the following questions. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.

  1. What is the distribution of ¯xx¯? ¯xx¯ ~ N(,)
  2. For the group of 9, find the probability that the average number of friends is more than 153.
  3. Find the first quartile for the average number of Facebook friends.
  4. For part b), is the assumption that the distribution is normal necessary? NoYes

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Hello! As you have posted more than 3 sub parts, we are answering the first 3 sub-parts.  In case you require the unanswered parts also, kindly re-post that parts separately.

 

Step 2

1)

 

From the given information, let us define the random variable X as the number of Facebook friends is normally distributed with mean 133 and standard deviation 59.

 

That is, .

 

The distribution of x-bar:

 

Central Limit Theorem:

 

The sampling distribution of sample mean follows normal distribution with mean  µ and the standard deviation is the population standard deviation by square root of sample size.

 

Given that the sample size is 9.

 

Therefore,
