Question

Suppose x has a distribution with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 51. Random samples of size n = 36are drawn.

(a) Describe the

x distribution

and compute the mean and standard deviation of the distribution.

x
has  ---Select--- a binomial an approximately normal an unknown a geometric a normal a Poisson distribution with
mean μx =
and
standard deviation σx = .


(b) Find the z value corresponding to

x = 61.5.

 

z =



(c) Find

P(x < 61.5).

(Round your answer to four decimal places.)

P(x < 61.5) =



(d) Would it be unusual for a random sample of size 36 from the x distribution to have a sample mean less than 61.5? Explain.

Yes, it would be unusual because less than 5% of all such samples have means less than 61.5.
Yes, it would be unusual because more than 5% of all such samples have means less than 61.5.  
   No, it would not be unusual because more than 5% of all such samples have means less than 61.5.
No, it would not be unusual because less than 5% of all such samples have means less than 61.5.
