2. we want to estimate the mean of a population. a random sample of subjects is selected and the sample mean is computed. what is the probability that the sample mean is within 3 units of the true mean if the standard error is 1.8?

Respuesta :

Given,

Sample mean = ±3 of true mean

Standard error = 1.8

Therefore,

Required probability of sample mean being within 3 units of the true mean is,

P ( sample mean - 3 < mean < sample mean + 3 )

= P [( sample mean - 3 ) - mean / 1.8 ] < mean - sample mean / 1.8 < [ ( sample mean + 3 ) - mean / 1.8 ]

= P ( - 1.67 < ∉ < 1.67)

= P (∉ < 1.67) - P( ∉ < 1.67)

= 0.952 - 0.047

= 0.905

Hence, the probability that the sample mean is within 3 units of the true mean if the standard error is 1.8 is 0.905.
