The owner of a fish market has an assistant who has determined that the weights of catfish are normally distributed, with mean of 3.2 pounds and standard deviation of 0.8 pound. If a sample of 4 fish is taken. What is the probability that the sample means will be more than 3.4 pounds?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]P(\bar X>3.4) = 0.385[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Relevant Data provided according to the question is as follows

[tex]\mu[/tex] = 3.2

[tex]\sigma[/tex] = 0.8

n = 4

According to the given scenario the calculation of probability that the sample means will be more than 3.4 pounds is shown below:-

[tex]z = \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{a}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

[tex]P(\bar X>3.4) = 1 - P(\bar X\leq 3.4)[/tex]

[tex]= 1 - P \frac{\bar X - \sigma}{\frac{a}{\sqrt{n} } } \leq \frac{3.4 - \sigma}{\frac{a}\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

Now, we will solve the formula to reach the probability that is

[tex]= 1 - P \frac{\bar X - 3.2}{\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{4} } } \leq \frac{3.4 - 3.2}{\frac{0.8}\sqrt{4} }[/tex]

[tex]= 1 - P (Z \leq \frac{0.2}{0.4})[/tex]

[tex]= 1 - P (Z \leq 0.5})[/tex]

[tex]= 1 - \phi (0.5)[/tex]

= 1 - 0.6915

= 0.385

Therefore the correct answer is

[tex]P(\bar X>3.4) = 0.385[/tex]

So, for computing the probability we simply applied the above formula.
