Souvenir hats, t-shirts, and jackets are sold at a rock concert. Two hats, two t-shirts, and one jacket cost $141. Three hats, three t-shirts, and two jackets cost $239. One hat, three t-shirts, and three jackets cost $262. Find the prices of the individual items.

The probability that the mean amount of credit card debt in a sample of 1600 such households will be within $300 of the population mean is roughly 0.907 = 90.7%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have 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 random variable X, with mean and standard deviation , a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation

In this problem, we have that:

The probability that the mean amount of credit card debt in a sample of 1600 such households will be within $300 of the population mean is roughly

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 1600 + 300 = 1900 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1600 - 300 = 1300. So

X = 1900

By the Central Limit Theorem

has a pvalue of 0.9535.

X = 1300

has a pvalue of 0.0465.

0.9535 - 0.0465 = 0.907.

The probability that the mean amount of credit card debt in a sample of 1600 such households will be within $300 of the population mean is roughly 0.907 = 90.7%.
