According to a study, the average number of hours of TV viewing per household per week in the Philippines is 50.4 hours
and the standard deviation is 11.8 hours. If a sample of 42 households is taken, what is the probability that:
(a) the sample average is more than 52 hours?
(b) the sample average is less than 47.5 hours?
(c) the sample average is between 48 and 53 hours?
Solution:
(a)
(b)
𝑃(𝑥 > 52) =? -We
can determine the
probability of getting a
=50%-44.41%=5.59%
sample mean lower
𝑃(𝑥 > 52) = 5. 59%than 47.5 is 5.59%
(c)
48−50.4
𝑧1 = 11.8 =
42
𝑃(48 < 𝑥 < 53) = -We can assume that
𝑧1 =− 1. 32
𝑃(− 1. 32 < 𝑧 < 1. 43) the probability of a
53−50.4 = 40. 66% + 42. 36% = sample mean between
𝑧2 = 11.8 =
42 83.02% 48 and 53 is 83.02%
𝑧2=1.43
