The mean number of words per minute (WPM) read by sixth graders is 97 with a standard deviation of 19 WPM. If 75 sixth graders are randomly selected, what is the probability that the sample mean would be greater than 101.63 WPM? Round your answer to four decimal places.

0.0174 = 1.74% probability that the sample mean would be greater than 101.63 WPM

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ ;

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 97, \sigma = 19, n = 75, s = \frac{19}{\sqrt{75}} = 2.1939$

What is the probability that the sample mean would be greater than 101.63 WPM?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 101.63. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{101.63 - 97}{2.1939}$

Z = 2.11

Z = 2.11 has a pvalue of 0.9826.

1 - 0.9826 = 0.0174

0.0174 = 1.74% probability that the sample mean would be greater than 101.63 WPM

step-by-step explanation:

ok so im not 100% sure but you would start by adding 5.1t and 1.9t beacuse they have the same variable. that is 7t. then add -3.6 + 1.2 which is -2.4

so then keep that as -2.4 + 7t. i apologize if this is incorrect. best luck on your test < 3
