Say the true mean of a population is 14 and you take a sample of 10 observations from the population and have a standard error of 1.5, what is the probability you will observe a sample mean of less than 13?
Solution :
Given that ,
mean = = 14
standard deviation = = 1.5
= / n = 1.5 / 10 = 0.4743
P( < 13) = P(( - ) / < (13 - 14) / 0.4743)
= P(z < -2.11)
= 0.0174
Probability = 0.0174
