Question
A leading magazine (like Barron's) reported at one time that the average number of weeks an
individual is unemployed is 28 weeks. Assume that for the population of all unemployed
individuals the population mean length of unemployment is 28 weeks and that the population
standard deviation is 3.8 weeks. Suppose you would like to select a random sample of 60
unemployed individuals for a follow-up study.
Find the probability that a single randomly selected value greater than 27.2.
P(X> 27.2) =

Expert Solution

Step 1

The question is about sampling distribution

Given :

Popl. mean length of unemployment ( μ ) = 28 weeks

Popl. std. deviation of length of unemployment ( σ ) = 3.8 weeks

Randomly selected no. of unemployed individuals ( n ) = 60

 

To find :

1 ) Prob. that a randomly selected value is greater than 27.2

2 ) Prob. that sample mean is greater than 27.2
