MARION DAIRIES

1. Calculate the probability the mean score of Blugurt given by the simple random sample
of Marion Dairies customers will be 75 or less.

Answer:

Formula

Sampling size =50 Mean =80 Standard deviation =25

By that, we get: z = (75-80)/ (25/ 50) =-1.41

P (z≤-1.41) =0.5-0.42073=0.0793=7.93%

The probability of the mean score of Blugurt given by the random sample of Marion Dairies
customers is 75 or 7.93%

2. If the Marketing Department increases the sample size to 150, what is the probability the
mean score of Blugurt given by the simple random sample of Marion Dairies customers
will be 75 or less?
Answer:

Formula

Sampling size =150 Mean =80 Standard deviation =25

By that, we get: z= (75-80)/ (25/ 150) =-2.45.
P (z≤-2.4494) =0.5-0.49266=0.0073=0.73%.

The probability of the mean score of Blugurt given by the random sample of Marion Dairies
customers is 75 or less 0.73%
3. Explain to Marion Dairies senior management why the probability that the mean score of
Blugurt for a random sample of Marion Dairies customers will be 75 or less is different
for samples of 50 and 150 Marion Dairies customers.

Answer:
The standard error of the mean, σx = σ/ n, is expounded to the root of the sample
size. Whenever the sample size is magnified, the quality error of the quality decreases.
With n = 50, the quality error of the mean for the Marion Dairies is 3.53. However, with
the rise within the sample size to n =150, the quality error of the mean is decreased to
2.04. As a result of the sampling distribution with n = 150 features a smaller standard
error, the values of x have less variation and have a tendency to be nearer to the
population mean than the values of x with n = 50. Moreover, by increasing the sample
size from 50 to 150, we tend to decrease the likelihood of getting a sample mean less 75
of the population mean from 0.793 to 0.0073. As a result, the larger sample size provides
the next likelihood that the sample mean is inside a fixed distance of the population
mean.
