(a) The standard error of the mean is 0.091.

(b) The probability that the sample mean will be less than $7.75 is 0.0107.

(d) The probability that the sample mean will be more than $8.20 is 0.0043.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the average price for a movie in the United States in 2012 was $7.96.

Assume the population standard deviation is $0.50 and that a sample of 30 theaters was randomly selected.

Let $\bar X$ = sample mean price for a movie in the United States

The z-score probability distribution for the sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean price for a movie = $7.96

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation = $0.50

n = sample of theaters = 30

(a) The standard error of the mean is given by;

Standard error = $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$ = $\frac{0.50}{\sqrt{30} }$

= 0.091

(b) The probability that the sample mean will be less than $7.75 is given by = P( $\bar X$ < $7.75)

P( $\bar X$ < $7.75) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{7.75-7.96}{\frac{0.50}\sqrt{30} } }$ ) = P(Z < -2.30) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 2.30)

= 1 - 0.9893 = 0.0107

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.30 in the z table which has an area of 0.9893.

P( $\bar X$ < $8.10) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{8.10-7.96}{\frac{0.50}\sqrt{30} } }$ ) = P(Z < 1.53) = 0.9369

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.53 in the z table which has an area of 0.9369.

(d) The probability that the sample mean will be more than $8.20 is given by = P( $\bar X$ > $8.20)

P( $\bar X$ > $8.20) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ > $\frac{8.20-7.96}{\frac{0.50}\sqrt{30} } }$ ) = P(Z > 2.63) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 2.63)

= 1 - 0.9957 = 0.0043

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.63 in the z table which has an area of 0.9957.
