Chapter 7, Problem 46SE
After deducting grants based on need, the average cost to attend the University of Southern California (USC) is $27,175 (U.S. News & World Report, America’s Best Colleges, 2009 ed.). Assume the population standard deviation is $7400. Suppose that a random sample of 60 USC students will be taken from this population.
- a. What is the value of the standard error of the
mean ? - b. What is the
probability that the sample mean will be more than $27,175? - c. What is the probability that the sample mean will be within $1000 of the population mean?
- d. How would the probability in part (c) change if the
sample size were increased to 100?
