0.2061 = 20.61% probability, given a class size of 30 students, the average time to complete the test is less than 48.5 minutes

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 normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes 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.

Mean of 50 minutes and a standard deviation of 10 minutes.

This means that $\mu = 50, \sigma = 10$

Class size of 30 students

This means that $n = 30, s = \frac{10}{\sqrt{30}}$

What is the probability, given a class size of 30 students, the average time to complete the test is less than 48.5 minutes.

This is the p-value of Z when X = 48.5. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{48.5 - 50}{\frac{10}{\sqrt{30}}}$

Z = -0.82

Z = -0.82 has a p-value of 0.2061

0.2061 = 20.61% probability, given a class size of 30 students, the average time to complete the test is less than 48.5 minutes
