Suppose the horses in a large stable have a mean weight of 992lbs, and a standard deviation of 141lbs. What is the probability that the mean weight of the sample of horses would differ from the population mean by less than 13lbs if 37 horses are sampled at random from the stable? Round your answer to four decimal places.

0.4246 = 42.46% probability that the mean weight of the sample of horses would differ from the population mean by less than 13lbs if 37 horses are sampled at random from the stable

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 can be 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 of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 992, \sigma = 141, n = 37, s = \frac{141}{\sqrt{37}} = 23.18$

What is the probability that the mean weight of the sample of horses would differ from the population mean by less than 13lbs if 37 horses are sampled at random from the stable?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 992 + 13 = 1005 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 992 - 13 = 979.

X = 1005

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{1005 - 992}{23.18}$

Z = 0.56

Z = 0.56 has a pvalue of 0.7123

X = 979

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

$Z = \frac{979 - 992}{23.18}$

Z = -0.56

Z = -0.56 has a pvalue of 0.2877

0.7123 - 0.2877 = 0.4246

0.4246 = 42.46% probability that the mean weight of the sample of horses would differ from the population mean by less than 13lbs if 37 horses are sampled at random from the stable
