------------------------------------------------ The mean weight of adult males is 165 pounds with a standard deviation of 30 pounds. If a sample of 35 adult males is selected, find the probability that the mean of the sample will be less than 155 pounds.

Answer :

Answer:

0.5244 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the mean weight of males adult is 165 pounds.

Std deviation is 30 pounds

Sample size n = 35

Hence sample std deviation = 30/sq rt 35 = 5.071

Then X bar the mean of the sample follows a normal distribution

X bar : N(165, 5.071) by central limit theorem

Required probability =P(X<155)

When x =155, Z = [tex]\frac{155-165}{5.071} =-1.972[/tex]

Hence P(X<155) = P(Z<-1.972) = 0.5-0.4756

= 0.5244
