MATH225 Week 5 Assignment: Central Limit Theorem for Means




1. Question

A family of statisticians is trying to decide if they can afford for their child to play youth
baseball. The cost of joining a team is normally distributed with a mean of $750and a
standard deviation of $185. If a sample of 40teams is selected at random from the
population, select the expected mean and standard deviation of the sampling
distribution below.

Correct answer:
σx¯=$29.25
μx¯=$750

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution

σx¯=σn−−√=$18540−−√=$29.25

When the distribution is normal the mean of the sampling distribution is equal to the
mean of the population μx¯=μ=$750.


Question

A cupcake baker is planning a supplies order and needs to know how much flour he
needs. He knows that his recipes use an average of 100grams of flour, normally
distributed, with a population standard deviation of 15grams. If he is consulting a
sample size of 30recipes, select the mean and standard deviation of the sampling
distribution to help him order his supplies from the options below.

σx¯=2.74grams
μx¯=100grams

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is

σx¯=σn−−√=1530−−√=2.74 grams

, Likewise, when the distribution is normal the mean of the sampling distribution is equal
to the mean of the population μx¯=μ=100grams.


Question
A head librarian for a large city is looking at the overdue fees per user system-wide to
determine if the library should extend its lending period. The average library user has
$19.67in fees, with a standard deviation of $7.02. The data is normally distributed and
a sample of 72library users is selected at random from the population. Select the
expected mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution from the options
below.

Correct answer:
σx¯=$0.83
μx¯=$19.67

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is

σx¯=σn−−√=$7.0272−−√=$0.83

When the distribution is normal, the mean of the sampling distribution is equal to the
mean of the population μx¯=μ=$19.67.




2. Question
A well known social media company is looking to expand their online presence by
creating another platform. They know that they current average 2,500,000users each
day, with a standard deviation of 625,000users. If they randomly sample 50days to
analyze the use of their existing technology, identify each of the following, rounding to
the nearest whole number if necessary:

We are given population mean μ=2,500,000and population standard deviation
σ=625,000, and want to find the mean and standard error of the sampling
distribution, μx¯and σx¯for samples of size n=50.
