Home sizes in Anytown, USA have a mean of 2400 square feet and a standard deviation of 450 square feet. What is the probability that a random sample of 50 homes in Anytown, USA has mean square footage less than 2200 square feet

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.00084

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Mean,[tex]\mu=2400[/tex] square feet

Standard deviation, [tex]\sigma=450[/tex]square feet

n=50

We have to find the probability that a random sample of 50 homes in Anytown, USA has mean square footage less than 2200 square feet.

[tex]P(x<2200)=P(\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}<P(\frac{2200-2400}{\frac{450}{\sqrt{50}}})[/tex]

[tex]P(x<2200)=P(Z<\frac{-200}{\frac{450}{\sqrt{50}}})[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]P(x<2200)=P(Z<-3.14)[/tex]

[tex]P(X<2200)=0.00084[/tex]

Hence, the probability that a random sample of 50 homes in Anytown, USA has mean square footage less than 2200 square feet=0.00084
