Thompson and Thompson is a steel bolts manufacturing company. Their current steel bolts have a mean diameter of 145 millimeters, and a standard deviation of 7 millimeters.
If a random sample of 31 steel bolts is selected, what is the probability that the sample mean would be greater than 141.5 millimeters? Round your answer to four decimal places.
Solution :
Given that ,
mean =
= 145
standard deviation =
= 7
n = 31
= 145
=
/
n = 7 /
31
P(
> 141.5) = 1 - P(
< 141.5)
= 1 - P[(
-
) /
< (141.5 - 145) / 7 /
31 ]
= 1 - P(z < -2.78)
= 0.9973
