suppose babies born in a large hospital have a mean weight of 3316 grams, and a standard deviation of 324 grams. if 83 babies are sampled at random from the hospital, what is the probability that the mean weight of the sample babies would differ from the population mean by less than 54 grams? round your answer to four decimal places.

Respuesta :

The probability that the mean weight of the sample babies would differ from the population mean by less than 54 grams is 0.4339.

For a normally distributed set of data, given the mean and standard deviation, the probability can be determined by solving the z-score and using the z-table.

First, solve for the z-score using the formula below.

z-score = (x – μ) / σ

where x = individual data value = 3316 grams - 54 grams = 3262

μ = mean = 3316 grams

σ = standard deviation = 324 grams

z-score = (3262 - 3316) / 324

z-score = -54 / 324

z-score = -0.1667

Find the probability that corresponds to the z-score in the z-table. (see attached images)

z-score = -0.1667

Using interpolation of values,

probability = 0.4339
