We are given that the population of values has a normal distribution with a mean of μ=244.7 and a standard deviation of σ=12. We intend to draw a random sample of size n=201 and find the probability that the sample mean falls between 243.6 and 245.7.
We can start by standardizing the distribution of the sample mean using the standard error of the mean, which is given by:
SE=σn
where σ is the population standard deviation and n is the sample size. Substituting the given values, we get:
SE=122010.8485
Next, we can standardize the sample mean using the standard normal distribution, which has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. This gives us:
Z=X¯μSE
where X¯ is the sample mean. Substituting the given values, we get:
Z=243.6244.70.84851.299
and
Z=245.7244.70.84851.178
Using a standard normal distribution table or calculator, we can find the probabilities associated with these two values of Z. The probability of the sample mean falling between 243.6 and 245.7 is then given by the difference between these two probabilities:
P(243.6<X¯<245.7)=P(1.299<Z<1.178)0.83660.10200.7346
Therefore, the probability that a sample of size n=201 is randomly selected with a mean between 243.6 and 245.7 is approximately 0.7346.
