The Central Limit Theorem

Applications of Central Limit Theorem:

1. The average price of a pound of sliced bacon is $2.02. Assume the standard deviation is $0.08. If a random sample of 40 one-pound packages is selected, find the probability that the mean of the sample will be less than $2.00.

2. The average hourly wage of fast-food workers employed by a nationwide chain is $5.55. The standard deviation is $1.15. If a sample of 50 workers is selected, find the probability that the mean of the sample will be between $5.25 and $5.90.

3. The mean score on a dexterity test for 12-year-olds is 30. The standard deviation is 5. If a psychologist administers the test to a class of 22 students, find the probability that the mean of the sample will be between 27 and 31. Assume the variable is normally distributed.
