Luciana's laptop has 3,000 pictures. The size of the pictures is skewed to the right, with a mean of 3.7MB and a standard deviation of 0.78MB
Part A: Can you accurately calculate the probability that the mean picture size is more than 3.8MB for an SRS of 20 pictures? Explain.
Part B: If you take a random sample of 60 pictures instead of 20, explain how the Central Limit Theorem allows you to find the probability that the mean picture size is more than 3.8MB.

Respuesta :

Considering the Central Limit Theorem, we have that:

a) The probability cannot be calculated, as the underlying distribution is not normal and the sample size is less than 30.

b) The probability can be calculated, as the sample size is greater than 30.

What does the Central Limit Theorem state?

It states that the sampling distribution of sample means of size n is approximately normal has standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex], as long as the underlying distribution is normal or the sample size is greater than 30.

In this problem, the underlying distribution is skewed right, that is, not normal, hence:

  • For item a, the probability cannot be calculated, as the underlying distribution is not normal and the sample size is less than 30.
  • For item b, the probability can be calculated, as the sample size is greater than 30.
