suppose a research firm conducted a survey to determine the mean amount steady smokers spend on cigarettes during a week. a sample of 120 steady smokers revealed that the population mean is $20. the population standard deviation is $5. what is the probability that a sample of 120 steady smokers spend between $19 and $21?

Respuesta :

Using the Z-table, we can determine the probability that a sample of 120 steady smokers spend between $19 and $21 is 0.986.

We have given that,

A sample is consider as survay to determine mean unt of steady smokers.

sample size (n) = 120

sample mean (X-bar ) = $20

standard deviations of sample (s) = $5

confidence interval is (19,21)

firstly we find the Z-Score value for given sample , C.I = X-bar +- Z(s/√n)

=> either 19 = 20 + Z(5/√120) or

21 = 20-Z(5/√220)

=> either Z = -0.456 or Z = 1/0.456

=> -2.19<Z<2.19

Using the either two tailed test or Z-table we can easily calculate the value of Probability.

the value of P( - 2.19<Z<2.19) is 0.986 ~ 0.99

Hence, the required probability is 0.986
