The central limit theorem conceptualizes the estimation of a normal distribution through the
mean of the distribution sample, as the sample size increases up to 30 or more, which adequately
holds and asserts the central limit theorem.
#6
a. Above 92?
Sample mean, µ = 88
Sample standard deviation, σ = 12
Sample size = 36
Using the given mean and standard deviation, the probability of a score more than 92 is;
P ( x> 92 )=P ( x−μ>92−88 )=P
( σx−μ
/ √ N 12/6 )
>
92−88
x−μ
Since the z-score, z=
σ
92−88
z= =2

Therefore, the probability is the area under 0.5 from the Standard Normal Table;
P ( z> 0.5 )=0.0228
b. Above 87?
Sample mean, µ = 88
3
Sample standard deviation, σ = 12
Sample size = 36
Using the given mean and standard deviation, the probability of a score more than 87 is;
P ( x> 88 )=P ( x−μ>87−88 )=P
( σx−μ
/ √ N 12/6 )
>
87−88
x−μ
Since the z-score, z=
σ
87−88
z= =−0.5
2
Therefore, the probability is the area under 0.5 from the Standard Normal Table;
P ( z>−0.5 )=0.3085
c. Below 87?
Sample mean, µ = 88
Sample standard deviation, σ = 12
Sample size = 36
Using the given mean and standard deviation, the probability of a score less than 87 is;
P ( x< 88 )=P ( x−μ<87−88 )=P
( x −μ 87−88
<
σ / √ 36 12/6 )
x−μ
Since the z-score, z=
σ
87−88
z= =−0.5

Therefore, the probability is the area under 0.5 from the Standard Normal Table;
P ( z←0.5 )=0.6915
#8
a. Less than 61 at n = 53
Sample mean, µ = 62
Sample standard deviation, σ = 15
Sample size = 53
Using the given mean and standard deviation, the probability of a score less than 61 is;
P ( x< 61 )=P ( x−μ<61−62 )=P
( σx−μ
/ √ 53 2.0604 )
<
61−62
x−μ
Since the z-score, z=
σ
61−62
z= =−0.14
2.0604
Therefore, the probability is the area under -0.14 from the Standard Normal Table;
P ( z>−0.14 )=0.4443
b. Above 59 at n = 36
Sample mean, µ = 62
Sample standard deviation, σ = 15
Sample size = 36

Using the given mean and standard deviation, the probability of a score more than 59 is;
( )
x −μ 59−62
P ( x> 59 )=P ( x> 59−62 )=P <

Therefore, the probability is the area under -0.14 from the Standard Normal Table;
P ( z>−0.14 )=0.3446

Directional hypothesis measures the direction of variation of two variables. This effect of one
variable on the other variable can be in positive direction or in negative direction. Non-
directional hypothesis does not indicate the kind of effects but only shows the relation between
two variables.
