The mean percent of childhood asthma prevalence in 43 cities is 2.25​%. A random sample of 31 of these cities is selected. What is the probability that the mean childhood asthma prevalence for the sample is greater than 2.7​%? Interpret this probability. Assume that σ= 1.27​%.

The probability is
(Round to four decimal place)

Respuesta :

The Probability that the mean childhood asthma prevalence for the sample is greater than 2.7% is 0.0357.

What is Probability ?

Probability refers to a possibility that deals with the occurrence of random events.

The probability of all the events occurring need to be 1.

For a Normal Distribution, the z-score formula

[tex]z = \dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Here X is the mean and sigma is the standard deviation.

Mean of 2.25​% = 2.25​

The standard deviation of 1.27%, sigma = 1.27

For Sample 31 the value of the standard deviation is

s = 1.27/√31

s = 0.2442

Substituting the values

Z = ( 2.25 -1.27)/0.2442

Z = 1.8

the p-value from the graph of z and p = 0.9643

To determine value of probability greater than X is 1 - 0.9643 = 0.0357

The Probability that the mean childhood asthma prevalence for the sample is greater than 2.7% is 0.0357.
