Suppose x has a distribution with a mean of 70 and astandard deviation of 15. Random samples of size

n = 36

are drawn.

(a) Describe the

x distribution

and compute the mean and standard deviation of thedistribution.

x

has  ---Select--- a binomial an unknown a geometric anapproximately normal a normal a Poisson distribution with

mean ?x =

and

standard deviation ?x=  .


(b) Find the z value corresponding to

x = 75.

z =



(c) Find

P(x < 75).

(Round your answer to four decimal places.)

P(x < 75) =



(d) Would it be unusual for a random sample of size 36 from thex distribution to have a sample mean less than 75?Explain.

Yes, it would be unusual because less than 5% of all suchsamples have means less than 75.No, it would not be unusual becausemore than 5% of all such samples have means less than75.    No, it would not be unusual because lessthan 5% of all such samples have means less than 75.Yes, it wouldbe unusual because more than 5% of all such samples have means lessthan 75.
