Question 1113378: Statistic students weighed a sample of 9 randomly chosen cans of coke, and found the sample weight to be 12,06 oz. The weight of the population of cans of coke are normally distributed with a mean of 12.00 oz and a population standard deviation of 0.11 oz.
What is the standard error?
What is the probability that a sample of 9 cans will have a mean amount of at least 12.06?
What is the probability that a sample of 9 cans will have a sample mean weight between 11.99 oz and 12.04 oz?

standard error(SE) = population standard deviation / square root (sample size)
:
*********************************
SE = 0.11/square root(9) = 0.0367
*********************************
:
since we know the standard deviation of the population, we use the normal distribution's z-score calculation
:
probability(P) that a sample of 9 cans will have a mean amount of at least 12.06 = 1 -P ( X < 12.06 )
:
z-score = (12.06 - 12.00) / 0.0367 = 1.6349
:
P associated with 1.6349 (using table of z-values or a normal distribution calculator) = 0.949
:
***************************************************************************
P that a sample of 9 cans will have a mean amount of at least 12.06 = 1 -P (X < 12.06) = 1 - 0.949 = 0.051
***************************************************************************
:
P that a sample of 9 cans will have a sample mean weight between 11.99 oz and 12.04 oz = P (X < 12.04) - P (X < 11.99)
:
z-score(12.04) = (12.04 - 12.00) / 0.0367 = 1.0899
:
P (X < 12.04) = 0.862
:
z-score(11.99) = (11.99 - 12.00) / 0.0367 = -0.2725
:
P (X < 11.99) = 0.393
:
***************************************************************************
P that a sample of 9 cans will have a sample mean weight between 11.99 oz and 12.04 oz = 0.862 - 0.393 = 0.469
