a. Between 1.99 and 2.0 litres?
b. Below 1.98 litres?
c. Above 2.01 litres?
d. The probability is 99% that the sample mean will contain at least how much soft drink?

a) 34.13% probability that the sample mean will be between 1.99 and 2 litres.

b) 2.28% probability that the sample mean will be below 1.98 litres.

c) 15.87% probability that the sample mean will be above 2.01 litres.

d) 2.02325 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 2, \sigma = 0.05, n = 25, s = \frac{0.05}{\sqrt{25}} = 0.01$

a. Between 1.99 and 2.0 litres?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 2 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1.99. So

X = 2

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{2 - 2}{0.01}$

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a pvalue of 0.5

X = 1.99

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{1.99 - 2}{0.01}$

Z = -1

Z = -1 has a pvalue of 0.1587

0.5 - 0.1587 = 0.3413

34.13% probability that the sample mean will be between 1.99 and 2 litres.

b. Below 1.98 litres?

pvalue of Z when X = 1.98. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{1.98 - 2}{0.01}$

Z = -2

Z = -2 has a pvalue of 0.0228

2.28% probability that the sample mean will be below 1.98 litres.

c. Above 2.01 litres?

1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 2.01. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{2.01 - 2}{0.01}$

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a pvalue of 0.8413

1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587

15.87% probability that the sample mean will be above 2.01 litres.

d. The probability is 99% that the sample mean will contain at least how much soft drink?

Value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.99. So X when Z = 2.325.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$2.325 = \frac{X - 2}{0.01}$

X - 2 = 0.01*2.325

X = 2.02325
