Central Limit Theorem Accelerated Math 3
Central Limit Theorem: For a large “n” the sampling distribution of is approximately normal for any population with finite standard deviation . http://www.statisticalengineering.com/central_limit_theorem.htm http://www.intuitor.com/statistics/CentralLim.html
To find the probability - 1st find the Z-Score: Then do what we have been doing… normcdf(lower, upper)
The only example. Assume that the weights of paper discarded each week by households are normally distributed with a mean of 9.43 lb. and a standard deviation of 4.17 lb. Find the probability that 12 randomly selected households have a mean between 10.0 lb. and 12.0 lb.
Oh wait! Would you like to learn how to do this completely on your calculator?
