Central Limit Theorem Tutorial
Central Limit Theorem Tutorial
1. A marketing company wants to estimate the average time users spend on a particular website per
visit. The time spent on the website per visit has a skewed distribution, with a few users spending
much longer than others. The company collects a random sample of 100 visits to the website to
estimate the mean time spent .How accurate is the estimate of the population mean time spent on
the website if the sample mean time is 5 minute.
2. A study aims to estimate the average height of adult women in a city. The population has a mean
height of 165 cm and a standard deviation of 10 cm. If researchers take a random sample of 50
women, what is the probability that the sample mean height is greater than 167 cm?
3. A company is studying the average time employees take to complete a specific task. They
know that individual task times are not normally distributed, but they take a random sample
of 50 task times. They want to know the probability that the sample mean task time is within
2 minutes of the true average time for the whole company.
4.The entrance exam score of a certain universitu has a mean of 74 and standard deviation of 6.8.
The exam crores follow a normal distribution.
a) If a student is selected random, what is the probability that his exam is less than 65?
b) a sample of 50 students is selected at random, what is the probability that the mean exam score
of this group is greater than 75?
d) Find the 80th percentile for the mean exam score of the 50 students?
5. The amount of carbo found in a snack bar produced by company ABC follows a uniform
distribution with a minimum of 21g to maximum of 29g. A sample of 100 snack bar is taken for
analysis.
a) Write the distribution for the amount of carbo found in 1 snack bar and calculate the mean and
standard deviation.
b) What is the distribution for the mean amount of carbs in 100 snack bars?
c) What is the probability that a single snack bar has between 24g and 26g of carbs?
d) Find the probability that the mean amount of carbs in 100 snack bar is between 24.9g and 25.1g
of carbs?
e) What is the distribution for the sum of carbs found in 100 snack bars?
f)Find the probability that the sum of carbs in 100 snack bars is greater than 2540.
