Central Limit Theorem Problem Index

central limit theorem 4 Comments

A Central Limit Theorem word problem will most likely contain the phrase “assume the variable is normally distributed”, or one like it. You will be given:

  1. A population (i.e. 29-year-old males, seniors between 72 and 76, all registered vehicles, all cat owners)
  2. An average (i.e. 125 pounds, 24 hours, 15 years, $15.74)
  3. A standard deviation (i.e. 14.4lbs, 3 hours, 120 months, $196.42)
  4. A sample size (i.e. 15 males, 10 seniors, 79 cars, 100 households)

    I did not find the internet link to the explanation for finding the mean between a certain set of numbers as helpful as the instructions you post here on the blog. I thought that it was more difficult to follow.

    This one is pretty easy. I think I understand these types of problems.
