a) 58.71% probability that a randomly selected participant's response was greater than 5

b) 33.28% probability that a randomly selected participant's response was between 4.5 and 6.5.

c) 91.82% probability that the mean of a sample of 16 selected participant's response was between 4.5 and 6.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 5.5, \sigma = 2.3$

a) Find the probability that a randomly selected participant's response was greater than 5

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{5 - 5.5}{2.3}$

Z = -0.22

Z = -0.22 has a pvalue of 0.4129.

1 - 0.4129 = 0.5871

58.71% probability that a randomly selected participant's response was greater than 5

b) Find the probability that a randomly selected participant's response was between 4.5 and 6.5.

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 6.5 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 4.5. So

X = 6.5

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{6.5 - 5.5}{2.3}$

Z = 0.43

Z = 0.43 has a pvalue of 0.6664.

X = 4.5

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{4.5 - 5.5}{2.3}$

Z = -0.43

Z = -0.43 has a pvalue of 0.3336

0.6664 - 0.3336 = 0.3328

33.28% probability that a randomly selected participant's response was between 4.5 and 6.5.

c) Find the probability that the mean of a sample of 16 selected participant's response was between 4.5 and 6.5.

Now we have $n = 16, s = \frac{2.3}{\sqrt{16}} = 0.575$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 6.5 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 4.5. So

X = 6.5

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

Due to the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{6.5 - 5.5}{0.575}$

Z = 1.74

Z = 1.74 has a pvalue of 0.9591.

X = 4.5

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{4.5 - 5.5}{0.575}$

Z = -1.74

Z = -1.74 has a pvalue of 0.0409

0.9591 - 0.0409 = 0.9182

91.82% probability that the mean of a sample of 16 selected participant's response was between 4.5 and 6.5.
