According to the local real estate board, the average number of days that homes stay on the market before selling is 78.4 with a standard deviation equal to 11 days. A prospective seller selected a random sample of 36 homes from the multiple listing service. Above what value for the sample mean should 95 percent of all possible sample means fall?

95 percent of all possible sample means fall above 75.30 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand 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 and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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 normally distributed random variable X, with mean and standard deviation , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

Above what value for the sample mean should 95 percent of all possible sample means fall?

Above the 100-95 = 5th percentile.

5th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.05. So X when Z = -1.645.

By the Central Limit Theorem

95 percent of all possible sample means fall above 75.30 days.
