The number of sleep hours for adults is normally distributed with mean 7 hours and standard deviation 1.7 hours. What is the probability that the mean sleep hours of a random sample of 25 adults is less than 6 hours?
Solution :
Given that ,
mean = = 7
standard deviation = = 1.7
= / n = 1.7 / 25 = 0.34
P( < 6) = P(( - ) / < (6 - 7) / 0.34)
= P(z < -2.9412)
= 0.0016
Probability = 0.0016
