1. What does the Central Limit Theorem tell us about the sampling distribution of the sample
mean?
The central boundary theorem indicates that even for non-normal population, the distribution
of the sample mean X will approximately follow a normal distribution with mean and standard
Deviation if the sample size n is large, and the samples are random.

2. The weights of Granny Smith apples from a large orchard are Normally distributed with a mean
of 380 gm and a standard deviation of 28 gm.
(a) A single apple is selected at random from this orchard. What is the probability that it
weighs more 400 gm?

Using Standard normal distribution table when z= 0.71, the area is 0.2611
P ( x> 400 )=0.5+0.2611
¿ 0.7611
The Probability that is weighs move 400 gm is 0.7611 or 76.11%

(b) Three apples are selected at random from this orchard. What is the probability that
their mean weight is greater than 400 gm.?

Using Standard normal distribution table when z= 1.24, the area is 0.3925.

¿ 0.8925
The Probability that is weighs move 400 gm is 0.8925 or 89.25%

(c) Explain why the probabilities in (a) and (b) are not equal.
Their probabilities are not equal because in letter (a) they only select a single apple while in letter (b)
they select three apples.

3. The scores of students on the ACT college entrance examination in a recent year had a Normal
distribution. with mean µ = 18.6 and a standard deviation of σ = 5.9.
(a) What is the probability that a single student randomly chosen from all those taking
the test scores 21 or higher?
(b) Now take a simple random sample of 50 students who took the test. What are the
mean and standard deviation of the sample mean score ¯x of these 50 students?
(c) What is the probability that the mean score of these students is 21 or higher?

Note: Show your complete solution.

C. Their probabilities are not equal because in letter (a) they only select a single apple
while in letter (b) they select three apples.

a. M = 18.6

z = x̄ - μ

z = 0.41

(using standard normal distribution table when 2 = 0.41, the area is 0.1591)
P ( x̄ > 21 ) = 0.5 + 0.1591
= 0.6591
The probability that a single student randomly chosen from all those taking the test
scores 21 or higher is 0.6591 or 65.91%.

b. M ( x̄ ) = M = 18.6
SD ( x̄ ) = σ = 5.9
√n √50
= 0.8344

c. x̄ = 21
Mx̄ = 18.6
σx̄ = 0.83
= x̄ - Mx̄
σx̄
= 21 - 18.6
0.83
= 2.87
P ( x̄ > 21 ) = 0.0021
The probability that the mean score of these students is 21 or higher is 0.0021 or 0.21%.
