the real estate group ny reports that the mean monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment without a doorman in manhattan is $2886. assume the standard deviation is $586. a real estate firm samples 94 apartments. what is the probability that the sample mean rent is less than $2,918.03?

Respuesta :

Probability that the sample mean rent is less than $2,918.03 is 0.050154

We are given that the Real Estate Group NY reports that the mean monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment without a doorman in Manhattan is $2886. Assume the standard deviation is $586.

Also, a real estate firm samples 94 apartments.

Let X  = sample mean rent

The sample mean's z-score probability distribution is provided by;

              Z =  X-u/σ/[tex]\sqrt{n}[/tex] ~ N(0,1)

where,  u= population mean monthly rent = $2,886

             σ = standard deviation = $586

             n = sample of apartments = 94

Now, the probability that the sample mean rent is less than $2,918.03 is given by = P( < $2,918.03)

P( < $2,918.03) = P(Z < 0.52)= 0.050154

The above probability is calculated using z table by looking at value of x = 0.52 in the z table which have an area of 0.050154

Therefore, probability that the sample mean rent is less than  $2,918.03is 0.050154
