In the library on a university campus, there is a sign in the elevator that indicates a limit of 16 persons. In addition, there is a weight limit of 2508 pounds. Assume that the average weight of students, faculty, and staff on campus is 150 pounds, that the standard deviation is 27 pounds, and that the distribution of weights of individuals on campus is approximately normal. If a random sample of 16 persons from the campus is to be taken, what is the chance that a random sample of 16 people will exceed the weight limit

15.87% probability that a random sample of 16 people will exceed the weight limit
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean
and standard deviation
, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
.
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
For sums, the theorem can be applied, with mean
and standard deviation ![s = \sqrt{n}*\sigma](/tpl/images/0567/0553/e300d.png)
In this problem, we have that:
If a random sample of 16 persons from the campus is to be taken, what is the chance that a random sample of 16 people will exceed the weight limit
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 2508. So
By the Central Limit Theorem
1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587
15.87% probability that a random sample of 16 people will exceed the weight limit
