The distribution of weekly salaries at a large company is right skewed with a mean of $1000 and a standard deviation of $350. What is the probability that the sampling error made in estimating the mean weekly salary for all employees of the company by the mean of a random sample of weekly salaries of 50 employees will be at most $50

68.76% probability that the sampling error made in estimating the mean weekly salary for all employees of the company by the mean of a random sample of weekly salaries of 50 employees will be at most $50

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have 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, which is also called standard error $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 1000, \sigma = 350, n = 50, s = \frac{350}{\sqrt{50}} = 49.5$

What is the probability that the sampling error made in estimating the mean weekly salary for all employees of the company by the mean of a random sample of weekly salaries of 50 employees will be at most $50

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 1000+50 = 1050 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1000-50 = 950. So

X = 1050

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{1050-1000}{49.5}$

Z = 1.01

Z = 1.01 has a pvalue of 0.8438

X = 950

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

$Z = \frac{950-1000}{49.5}$

Z = -1.01

Z = -1.01 has a pvalue of 0.1562

0.8438 - 0.1562 = 0.6876

Apsychology student wishes to investigate differences in political opinions between business majors and political science majors at her college. she randomly selects 100 students from the 260 business majors and 100 students from the 180 political science majors. does this sampling plan result in a simple random sample? why or why not? no, because each group of 200 students in the sample does not have the same chance of being selected. yes, because each group of 200 students in the sample has the same chance of being selected. no, because each individual student does not have an equal chance of being selected. yes, because each individual student has the same chance of being selected.
