Find the probability and interpret the results. If convenient, use technology to find the probability. During a certain week the mean price of gasoline was $2.716 per gallon. A random sample of 38 gas stations is drawn from this population. What is the probability that the mean price for the sample was between $2.697 and $2.715 that week? Assume sigma= $0.049.

Step 1
716 per gallon - Sample size: n = 38 - Population standard deviation: σ = $0.049 - We want to find the probability that the sample mean price is between $2.697 and $2.715. Show more…

Find the indicated probability and interpret the results. If convenient, use technology to find the probability. Gas Prices: New England During a certain week, the mean price of gasoline in the New England region was $\$ 3.796$ per gallon. A random sample of 32 gas stations is selected from this population. What is the probability that the mean price for the sample was between $\$ 3.781$ and $\$ 3.811$ that week? Assume $\sigma=\$ 0.045 .$ (Adapted from U.S. Energy Information Administration)

During a certain week the mean price of gasoline in Arizona was $3.629 per gallon. A random sample of 43 gas stations is drawn from this population. What is the probability that the mean price for the sample was between $3.610 and $3.625 that week? Assume σ = $0.052.
