Majesty Video Production Inc. wants the mean length of its advertisements to be 26 seconds. Assume the distribution of ad length follows the normal distribution with a population standard deviation of 2 seconds. Suppose we select a sample of 21 ads produced by Majesty. a. What can we say about the shape of the distribution of the sample mean time?b. What is the standard error of the mean time? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places)c. What percent of the sample means will be greater than 27.05 seconds?d. What percent of the sample means will be greater than 25.05 seconds?e.

a) By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normally distributed, with mean 26 and standard error 0.44.

b) s = 0.44

c) 0.84% of the sample means will be greater than 27.05 seconds

d) 98.46% of the sample means will be greater than 25.05 seconds

e) 97.62% of the sample means will be greater than 25.05 but less than 27.05 seconds

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 normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation(also called standard error) $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 26, \sigma = 2, n = 21, s = \frac{2}{\sqrt{21}} = 0.44$

a. What can we say about the shape of the distribution of the sample mean time?

By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normally distributed, with mean 26 and standard error 0.44.

b. What is the standard error of the mean time? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places)

$s = \frac{2}{\sqrt{21}} = 0.44$

c. What percent of the sample means will be greater than 27.05 seconds?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 27.05. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{27.05 - 26}{0.44}$

Z = 2.39

Z = 2.39 has a pvalue of 0.9916

1 - 0.9916 = 0.0084

0.84% of the sample means will be greater than 27.05 seconds

d. What percent of the sample means will be greater than 25.05 seconds?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 25.05. So

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

$Z = \frac{25.05 - 26}{0.44}$

Z = -2.16

Z = -2.16 has a pvalue of 0.0154

1 - 0.0154 = 0.9846

98.46% of the sample means will be greater than 25.05 seconds

e. What percent of the sample means will be greater than 25.05 but less than 27.05 seconds?"

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 27.05 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 25.05.

X = 27.05

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

$Z = \frac{27.05 - 26}{0.44}$

Z = 2.39

Z = 2.39 has a pvalue of 0.9916

X = 25.05

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

$Z = \frac{25.05 - 26}{0.44}$

Z = -2.16

Z = -2.16 has a pvalue of 0.0154

0.9916 - 0.0154 = 0.9762

97.62% of the sample means will be greater than 25.05 but less than 27.05 seconds

Ascientist wants to use a model to present the results of his detailed scientific investigation. why would a model be useful? a )because the model makes the concepts easier to understand b) because the model is easy to put together and to use c) because the model prevents other scientists from asking questions d) because the model requires the audience to pay full attention to it i don't know what to choose because between a and d a is much more likely than d because it only wants to get the attention of the audience. i'm confuse.
