The operation manager at a tire manufacturing company believes that the mean mileage of a tire is 44,111 miles, with a variance of 5,943,844. What is the probability that the sample mean would be less than 44,257 miles in a sample of 80 tires if the manager is correct? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answer:

[tex] z=\frac{44257-44111}{\frac{2438}{\sqrt{80}}}= 0.536[/tex]

And if we use the normal standard table we got this:

[tex] P(z<0.536) =0.7040[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info :

[tex]\mu = 44111[/tex] represent the true mean

[tex]\sigma= \sqrt{5943844}= 2438[/tex] represent the deviation

n= 80 represent the sample size

And we want to find the follwing probability:

[tex] P(\bar X< 44257)[/tex]

For this case since the sample size is larger than 30 we can apply the central limit theorem and we can use the z score formula given by:

[tex] z=\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

The distribution for the sample mean would be:

[tex]\bar X \sim N(\mu,\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})[/tex]

And if we find the z score for this case we got:

[tex] z=\frac{44257-44111}{\frac{2438}{\sqrt{80}}}= 0.536[/tex]

And if we use the normal standard table we got this:

[tex] P(z<0.536) =0.7040[/tex]
