Worksheet 4 - Mean and Variance of Sampling Distribution

This document provides 10 problems involving calculating statistics such as the mean, variance, and standard deviation for random samples from normally distributed populations. It also involves computing z-values and probabilities for situations involving random samples and normally distributed data. The problems cover a range of sample sizes and ask for measures like the area below or above z, and the probability that the sample mean is within a given range.

2. A random sample of size 40 is taken with replacement from a population with μ=82.4 and σ 2=60

3. A random sample of size 3 is taken with replacement from a population with μ=8 and σ =2

4. A random sample of size 30 is drawn with replacement from a population with μ=48 and σ =6.5

5. A random sample size of 1600 is taken with replacement from a population with μ=509.23 and σ =40

6. A random sample of size 45 taken from a population of 900 with μ=18.25 and σ 2=81

7. A random sample of size 64 taken from a population of 1200 whose μ=72.12 and σ 2=144

8. A random sample of size 36 taken from a population of 3200 whose μ=28.6 and σ 2=54.4

9. A community has 1500 people with a mean age of 42 and variance of 16. If you draw a random sample
of 30 people, what are the mean, variance and standard error of the sampling distribution of their ages?

10. What are the mean, variance and standard error of the sample mean when 60 students are taken from a
population of 2000 with a mean score of 75 and standard deviation of 5?
Compute the z-value and the area or probability indicated assuming that each population is normally
distributed.
1. μ=50, σ =4, x́ =51, n =80, find the area below z
2. μ=40, σ 2=9, x́ =41.5, n =40, find the area above z
3. μ=75, s2=10, x́ =73, n =10, find P( x́ ) > 73
Replacement times of TV sets are reported to follow a normal distribution having a mean of 8.5 years with
standard deviation of 1.2 years.
4. If 30 TV sets are selected at random, what is the probability that the mean replacement time is less than
8 years?
5. If 20 TV sets are taken as samples, what is the probability that the mean replacement time is longer
than 7.8 years?
6. If 25 TV sets are selected, what is the probability that the mean replacement time is between 8.4 years
and 9 years.
American teenage girls are reported to spend an average of $31 on shopping per month with standard
deviation of $8. If these expenses are normally distributed, answer the following:
7. If 85 American teenage girls are randomly selected, what is the probability that their mean expenses on
shopping per month is less than $30?
8. If 60 American teenage girls are selected, what is the probability that their mean expenses on shopping
is greater than $32.5?
9. If 90 American teenage girls are randomly selected, what is the probability that their mean expenses is
between $30.5 and $32?
10. If 5 of these teenage girls are asked on their expenses on shopping per month, what is the probability
that their mean expenses is between $28.7 and $35.8?
