Question 7 (1 point)

The rainfall in Aberdeen Reservoir, Washington (the wettest place in the contiguous United States) averages 137.36 inches per year with a standard deviation of 6.27 inches. According to the Central Limit Theorem, what happens to the histogram of averages as n increases?

Question 7 options:

1)	The histogram will begin to look more like the normal curve.

2)	The histogram will begin to look less like the normal curve.

3)	Increasing n will not affect the histogram of averages.

4)	It depends on the mean and standard deviation.

5)	The histogram will begin to look more like the original distribution.

Answer 1

7)]

The histogram will begin to look more like the normal curve.

8)

std error=σx̅=σ/√n=

0.35698

probability =P(X>71)=P(Z>(71-71.1)/0.357)=P(Z>-0.28)=1-P(Z<-0.28)=1-0.3897=0.6103

9)

std error=σx̅=σ/√n=

2.84100

probability =P(X<68.01)=(Z<68.01-66.04)/2.841)=P(Z<(0.69)=0.756

10)since top 23 % values are (100-23=77th percentile):

for 77th percentile critical value of z=		0.74
therefore corresponding value=mean+z*std deviation=			51625.08

11)

for 51th percentile critical value of z=		0.03
therefore corresponding value=mean+z*std deviation=			203.2
