Question

The average age of doctors in a certain hospital is 45.0 years old with a standard deviation of 4.0 years. If 10 doctors are chosen at random for a committee, assume that the variable is normally distributed, find the probability that a) the mean age of those doctors is less than 43.80 years. b) the mean age of those doctors is between 42 to 47 years. c) the mean age of those doctors is more than 45.80 years.

The average age of doctors in a certain hospital is 46.0 years old with a standard deviation of 10.0 years. If 36 doctors are chosen at random for a committee, find the probability that the mean age of those doctors is less than 46.67 years. Assume that the variable is normally distributed.

00:01 There is a normal distribution given in this question.
00:03 So the mean value was given here, which is denoted by mu, that is 45, and the standard deviation, denoted by sigma, and that was given as 4 here.
00:16 So i can define the random variable x, which is normally distributed.
00:20 This is 45 and 4.
00:22 And the next step, which is, so the sample size was given here, which is there are taken 10 doctors.
00:30 So the sample size is 10 here.
00:33 So what we need? we need the sample standard division.
00:36 So i'm going to apply the central limit theory, which is the population standard division divided by square of the sample size.
00:43 This is sigma x bar.
00:45 So this is 4 divided by square root of 10.
00:48 And i can define the random, the x bar as a random variable for the sample, which is normally distributed.
00:54 So the mean is the same with the population.
00:56 And the standard division, 4 divided by square width of, 10 here.
01:02 So in the first part of the question, we need to find the x bar, which is less than 43 .80.
01:10 To get this probability, i'm going to use the normal cdf function of the graphing display calculator.
01:15 There is no lower boundary, put some very small number...
