    IF the underlying population distribution is NOT NORMAL, and we have samples less than 30. Let's say the samples are size
    n = 5. I know the distribution of the sample means will not be normal according to the CLT. However, will the distribution have the same mean as the population mean, and will the variance be equal to the variance of the population divided by 5? Please let me know? thanks?

    In part a, how can you use the normal distribution chart to find the probability for the z-score if you do not know the salary is normally distributed? I mean, since you did it, I assume it was normally distributed, but I think it would have been good if you stressed the point.

    • @sargamgupta7194

      Hi Shashank, the central limit theorem states that sample data is distributed normally across whole population.

    • @Freeeeeeeezing
      @Freeeeeeeezing 6 років тому +5

      That is not what the theorem states. The sample MEAN is approximately normally distributed when sample size n is large.

      @@sargamgupta7194 Let's suppose he drew a sample of size n from a population having a distribution whatsoever.
      Now this sample will be normally distributed according to CLT.
      Right?
      Hence he has assumed a normal distribution.
      I guess this is correct!

      That as the sample size increases the sampling distribution of a bi-modal distribution becomes approximately normal.

    I want to know the skills needed to be able to do advanced statistical work such as proving the theorems etc. I am not in grad school but I glanced over the stuff inside the textbooks and it looks like only aliens from outer space are able to do it. Is the advanced stuff only for people with High IQ's or something? I have no clue how people are able to figure that stuff out.

      All your answers should be either what it says in your chart or the complement (1 minus what it says in your chart). If you sketch the curve, you should be able to determine which probability it is.

    Assuming that the given mean and standard deviation have not changed, find the probability of randomly selecting 40 cigarettes with a mean of 0.882 g or less.
    Reduced Nicotine in Cigarettes The amounts of nicotine in HOPE cigarettes have a mean of 0.941 g and a standard deviation of 0.313 g. The Huntington Tobacco Company, which produces HOPE cigarettes, claims that it has now reduced the amount of nicotine. The supporting evidence consists of a sample of 40 cigarettes with a mean nicotine amount of 0.882 g.

      This is pretty late, but if you want a z-score that is negative you can use 1- (the z score of the positive version) to get the negative one.
      The z score of 3.0 is .9987 and the z score of -3.0 is 1-.9987=.0013
      Hope this helps!

      Álvaro Carvalho Did you read it right? You should start with the left column for the first digit before the decimal and the first digit after. Then the row up top is for the second decimal spot. Also, these numbers represent the amount of area under that curve that has an absolute value of 3 standard deviations away from the mean so that high of a percentage would be too much.
