The average height of American women (in 2016) is 5 ft. 4 inches (64 inches) with a standard deviation of 3 inches. What is the probability that the average height of a random group of nine American women would be less than five feet three inches

Respuesta :

Probability of average height of women is 0.1379

First check to see if the Central Limit Theorem applies. Since n > 30, it does. Next we need to calculate the standard error. To do that we divide the population standard deviation by the square-root of n, which gives us a standard error of 0.646. Next, we calculate a z-score using our z-score formula:

Z=(X−μ)/S.E.

S.E = σn/√n

S.E =3/√ 9

S.E=1

Plugging in gives us:

(64−63)/1 = 1

Finally, we look up our z-score in our z-score table to get a p-value.

The table gives us a p-value of,

P(z<1.0)=1−P(z>1.0)

P(z<1.0)=1−0.8621

P(z<1.0)=0.1379

So, Probability of average height of women is 0.1379
