Q:

Focus groups of 11 people are randomly selected to discuss products of the Famous Company. It is determined that the mean number (per group) who recognize the Famous brand name is 6.2, and the standard deviation is 0.51. Would it be unusual to randomly select 11 people and find that greater than 9 recognize the Famous brand name?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: It would not be unusual to randomly select 11 people and find that greater than 9 recognize the famous brand name. Step-by-step explanation:Since we have given that Mean = 6.2Standard deviation = 0.51Average number of people Β = 11So, using the normal distribution, we get that [tex]z=\dfrac{9-11}{0.51}=\dfrac{-2}{0.51}=-3.921[/tex]Now, we will check that [tex]P(\bar{X}>9)=P(z>-3.921)=1-0.00004=0.99996[/tex]Hence, It would not be unusual to randomly select 11 people and find that greater than 9 recognize the famous brand name.
