(Statistics and Probability)
SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION

Solve the following word problems below. Show complete solution and give brief conclusion for each item.

1. The average cholesterol content of a certain canned goods is 215 milligrams, and the standard deviation
is 15 milligrams. Assume that the variable is normally distributed.
a. If canned good is selected, what is the probability that the cholesterol content will be greater than
220 milligrams?
b. if a sample of 25 canned goods is selected, what is the probability that the mean of the sample will
be larger than 220 milligrams?

2. The average public high school has 468 students with a standard deviation of 87.
a. If a public school is selected, what is the probability that the number of students enrolled is greater
than 400?
b. If a random sample of 38 public elementary schools is selected what is the probability that the number
of students enrolled is between 445 and 485?

3. Get the weight of each member of the group. Consider samples of size 3 that can be drawn from this
population.
a. How many possible samples can be drawn?
b. List all the possible samples and the corresponding means.
c. Construct the sampling distribution of the sample means.

4. The scores of individual students on a national test have a normal distribution with mean 18.6 and
Thunder division 5.9. At Science and Technology Education Center, 76 Senior High School students took
the test. If the scores at the school have the same distribution as national scores, what are the mean in
standard deviation of the sample mean for 76 students? (Assume that the population is infinite in this
case)
5. In a study of the life expectancy of 400 people in a certain geographic region, the mean age at death was
70 years, and standard deviation was 5.1 years. If a sample of 50 people from this region is selected,
what is the probability that the mean life expectancy will be less than 68 years?
