The distribution of weights for the population of males in the United
Question The distribution of weights for the population of males in the UnitedStates is approximately normal with mean µ=172.2 pounds and standard deviation σ=29.8 pounds.a. What is the probability that a randomly selected man weighs less than 150 pounds? b. What is the probability that he weighs more than 210 pounds? c. What is the probability that he weights between 150 and 210 pound? d. Between what 2 weights would we expect the middle 95% of men to weigh? e. You take a simple random sample of n=16 individuals from this population and calculate the mean weight of the sample. What would be the mean of the sample mean? What would be the standard error of the mean?f. Regarding the mean derived from a sample of n=16, what is the probability of getting a sample mean that is less than 150 lb? g. Compare the results in part a and f, do you see a large or smaller value in part f in comparing to part a? What reason do you think leads to this difference?
