Assume that females have pulse rates that are normally distributed with a mean of

μ=74.0

beats per minute and a standard deviation of

σ=12.5

beats per minute. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c) below.

Part 1

a. If 1 adult female is randomly​ selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is between

68

beats per minute and

80

beats per minute.

The probability is

Part 2

b. If

16

adult females are randomly​ selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean between

68

beats per minute and

80

beats per minute.

The probability is

​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)

Part 3

c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part​ (b), even though the sample size does not exceed​ 30?

 

A.

Since the mean pulse rate exceeds​ 30, the distribution of sample means is a normal distribution for any sample size.

 

B.

Since the distribution is of​ individuals, not sample​ means, the distribution is a normal distribution for any sample size.

 

C.

Since the distribution is of sample​ means, not​ individuals, the distribution is a normal distribution for any sample size.

 

D.

Since the original population has a normal​ distribution, the distribution of sample means is a normal distribution for any sample size.

Mean,

μ = 74.0

 

Std deviation, σ = 12.5

 

P(x<78)=P(x-μσ<78-7412.5)

= P(Z<0.32)

= 0.6255 (from z distribution table)

 

If 1 adult female is randomly selected, the probability that her pulse rate is less than 78 beats per minute would be 0.6255
