1 State Central limit theorem. Use the theorem to evaluate [50< <56] where represents the
mean of a random sample of size 100 from an infinite population with mean 𝜇=53 and
variance 𝜎2=400 .
2 A random sample of size 64 is taken from an infinite population having mean 112 and
variance 144. Using central limit theorem, find the probability of getting the sample mean
greater than 114.5
3 An unknown distribution has a mean of 45 and a standard deviation of 8. Samples of size 𝑛 =
30 are drawn randomly from the population. Find the probability that the sample mean is
between 42 and 50 (Given A (2.053) =0.4798, A (3.42) =0.4997).
4 In a recent study reported on the Flurry Blog, the mean age of tablet users is 34 years. Suppose
the standard deviation is 15 years. Take a sample of size 𝑛 = 100.
Using central limit theorem, find the probability that the sample mean age is more than 30
years.

5 A random sample of size 25 from a normal distribution 𝜇 𝜎 ) yields, sample mean

=78.3 . Obtain a 99% confidence interval for 𝜇.
6 Let the observed value of the mean of a random sample of size 20 from a normal
distribution with 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 𝜇 and variance 𝜎2=80 be 81.2. Find a 90% and a 95% confidence
intervals for 𝜇.
7 The heights of a random sample of 50 college students showed a mean of 174.5 centimeters
and a standard deviation of 6.9 centimeters. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean
height of all college students
8 Suppose that 10, 12, 16, 19 is a sample taken from a normal population with variance 6.25.
