The Nielsen Company reported that children between the ages of 2 and 5 watch an average of 25 hours of television per week. Assume the variable is normally distributed and the standard deviation is 3 hours. If a group of 20 children between the ages of 2 and 5 are randomly selected, find the probability that the mean of the number of hours they watch television will be greater than 26.3 hours.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "z(26.3) = (26.3-25)/[3/sqrt(20)] = 1.9379
\n" ); document.write( "P(z > 26.3) = P(z> 1.9379) = 0.0263
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "If you use the t-distribution you will get:
\n" ); document.write( "P(t > 26.3) = tcdf(1.9379,100,19) = 0.0338
