Question 1186190: The amounts of electricity bills for all households in a particular city have an
approximately normal distribution with a mean of $140 and a standard deviation of
$30. Find the probability that the mean amount of electricity bills for a random sample
of 75 households selected from this city will be between $132 and $136. My email address is www.cosmashiltoon@gmail.com
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
population mean = 140.
population standard deviation = 30
sample size = 75
when you are dealing with the mean of a sample, you need to use the standard error.
standard error = standard deviation divided by square root of smaple size = 30 / sqrt(75) = 3.4641 rounded to 4 decimal places.
probability that the sample mean will be between 132 and 136 is is equal to .1136 = 11.36%.
