If the average ago of retirement for a random sample of 87 retired persons is 66 years with a standard deviation of 2 years. a. b. c. d. e.f. g. Find the probability of finding a random sample of 87 retired people in which the average age of retirement is 66.5 or more. Find all values to 3 decimal places.

0.01 = 1% probability of finding a random sample of 87 retired people in which the average age of retirement is 66.5 or more.

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 and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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 and standard deviation , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation .

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

In this question, we have that:

Find the probability of finding a random sample of 87 retired people in which the average age of retirement is 66.5 or more.

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 66.5. So

By the Central Limit Theorem

has a pvalue of 0.99.

1 - 0.99 = 0.01

0.01 = 1% probability of finding a random sample of 87 retired people in which the average age of retirement is 66.5 or more.

step-by-step explanation:

shorter piece is 2: 3, so just reverse it, and you get 3: 2

5x+2x=49

7x=49
