a) 0.259

b) 0.297

c) 0.497

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, it is important to know the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 11, \sigma = 3$

a. If you select a random sample of 25 sessions, what is the probability that the sample mean is between 10.8 and 11.2 minutes?

Here we have that $n = 25, s = \frac{3}{\sqrt{25}} = 0.6$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 11.2 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 10.8.

X = 11.2

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{11.2 - 11}{0.6}$

Z = 0.33

Z = 0.33 has a pvalue of 0.6293.

X = 10.8

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{10.8 - 11}{0.6}$

Z = -0.33

Z = -0.33 has a pvalue of 0.3707.

0.6293 - 0.3707 = 0.2586

0.259 probability, rounded to three decimal places.

b. If you select a random sample of 25 sessions, what is the probability that the sample mean is between 10.5 and 11 minutes?

Subtraction of the pvalue of Z when X = 11 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 10.5. So

X = 11

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{11 - 11}{0.6}$

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a pvalue of 0.5.

X = 10.5

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{10.5 - 11}{0.6}$

Z = -0.83

Z = -0.83 has a pvalue of 0.2033.

0.5 - 0.2033 = 0.2967

0.297, rounded to three decimal places.

c. If you select a random sample of 100 sessions, what is the probability that the sample mean is between 10.8 and 11.2 minutes?

Here we have that $n = 100, s = \frac{3}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.3$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 11.2 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 10.8.

X = 11.2

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{11.2 - 11}{0.3}$

Z = 0.67

Z = 0.67 has a pvalue of 0.7486.

X = 10.8

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{10.8 - 11}{0.3}$

Z = -0.67

Z = -0.67 has a pvalue of 0.2514.

0.7486 - 0.2514 = 0.4972

0.497, rounded to three decimal places.

The management of a supermarket wants to adopt a new promotional policy of giving a free gift to every customer who spends more than a certain amount per visit at this supermarket. the expectation of the management is that after this promotional policy is advertised, the expenditures for all customers at this supermarket will be normally distributed with a mean of $95 and a standard deviation of $20. if the management wants to give free gifts to at most 10% of the customers, what should the amount be above which a customer would receive a free gift?
