The final exam grade of a statistics class has a skewed distribution with a mean of 76 and a standard deviation of 7.6. If a random sample of 32 students is selected from this class, then what is the probability that the average final exam grade of this sample is between 75 and 80?

Answer:

Given Data:

The Population Mean $(\mu)= 76 $

The Population Standard Deviation $(\sigma) = 7.6 $

The Sample Size $(n)=32 $

Solution:

The probability that average final exam grade of this sample is between 75 and 80:

$P(75 < \bar{x} < 80) = P\left( \frac{75 – 76}{\frac{7.6}{\sqrt{32}}} < \frac{\bar{x} – \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} < \frac{80 – 76}{\frac{7.6}{\sqrt{32}}} \right)$

$P(75 < \bar{x} < 80) = P(-0.744 < z < 2.977)$

$P(75 < \bar{x} < 80) = P(z < 2.977) – P(z < -0.744)$

$P(75 < \bar{x} < 80) = 0.9985 – 0.2284$

$P(75 < \bar{x} < 80) = 0.7701$

Final Answer:

The probability that average final exam grade of this sample is between 75 and 80 $ = 0.7701 $
