Suppose that the distribution for total amounts spent by students vacationing for a week in florida is normally distributed with a mean of 650 and a standard deviation of 120 . suppose you take a simple random sample (srs) of 15 students from this distribution. what is the probability that a srs of 15 students will spend an average of between 600 and 700 dollars? round to five decimal places.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the total amounts spent by students vacationing for a week in Florida of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

Where and

And let represent the sample mean, the distribution for the sample mean is given by:

On this case  

We are interested on this probability

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

And we can find this probability on this way:

And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

the y will be in still but your answer will be y x 3
