Question
A business woman wants to open a coffee stand across the street from a competing coffee company. She notices that the competing company has an average of 170 customers each day, with a standard deviation of 45 customers. Suppose she takes a random sample of 31 days. Identify the following to help her decide whether to open her coffee stand, rounding to the nearest whole number when necessary:
μ =_____customers per day
σ =_____customers per day
n =____
μ-x =____
σ-x =_____customers per day

Answer:
μ = 170 customers per day
σ = 45 customers per day
n = 31
Step-by-step explanation:
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes 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.
She notices that the competing company has an average of 170 customers each day, with a standard deviation of 45 customers.
This means that
Suppose she takes a random sample of 31 days.
This means that
For the sample:
By the Central Limit Theorem, the mean is
and the standard deviation is
