Understand Given Information: To solve this problem, we first need to understand the given information and what is being asked.We are given:- The average (mean) production cost for major movies, μ=67 million dollars.- The standard deviation, σ=23 million dollars.- The number of movies being sampled, n=46.- We are asked to find the distribution of X, the distribution of the sample mean xˉ, the probability of a single movie's production cost being between 69 and 73 million dollars, and the probability that the average production cost for 46 movies is between the same range.
Distribution of X: a. The distribution of X, which represents the production cost for a single movie, is given as a normal distribution with the mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ). Therefore, the distribution of X is:X∼N(67,23)
Distribution of Sample Mean: b. The distribution of the sample mean xˉ is also normally distributed with the same mean as the population mean, but the standard deviation is reduced by the square root of the sample size (n). The standard deviation of the sample mean is σ/n. Let's calculate it:σ/n=23/46≈23/6.7823≈3.3906 million dollarsTherefore, the distribution of xˉ is:xˉ∼N(67,3.3906)However, the problem statement seems to suggest a standard deviation of 0.5 for xˉ, which is likely a mistake. We will use the calculated standard deviation for further calculations.
