Suppose the sediment density (g/cm) of a randomly selected specimen from a certain region is normally distributed with mean 2.65 and standard deviation 0.85. If a random sample of 25 specimens is selected, what is the probability that the sample average sediment density is at most 3.00? eetween 2.65 and 3.00?

Probability that the sample average is at most 3.00 = 0.98030

Probability that the sample average is between 2.65 and 3.00 = 0.4803

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the sediment density (g/cm) of a randomly selected specimen from a certain region is normally distributed with mean 2.65 and standard deviation 0.85.

Also, a random sample of 25 specimens is selected.

Let X bar = Sample average sediment density

The z score probability distribution for sample average is given by;

               Z = ~ N(0,1)

where, = population mean = 2.65

             = standard deviation = 0.85

            n = sample size = 25

(a) Probability that the sample average sediment density is at most 3.00 is given by = P( X bar <= 3.00)

    P(X bar <= 3) = P( <= ) = P(Z <= 2.06) = 0.98030

(b) Probability that sample average sediment density is between 2.65 and 3.00 is given by = P(2.65 < X bar < 3.00) = P(X bar < 3) - P(X bar <= 2.65)

P(X bar < 3) = P( < ) = P(Z < 2.06) = 0.98030

 P(X bar <= 2.65) = P( <= ) = P(Z <= 0) = 0.5

Therefore, P(2.65 < X bar < 3)  = 0.98030 - 0.5 = 0.4803 .
