The owner of a fish market determined that the mean weight for a catfish is 3.2 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.8 pound. A

Answer: The probability that a randomly selected catfish will weigh between 3 and 5.4 pounds is 0.596

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the weights of catfish are assumed to be normally distributed,

we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = weights of catfish.

µ = mean weight

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 3.2 pounds

σ = 0.8 pound

The probability that a randomly selected catfish will weigh between 3 and 5.4 pounds is is expressed as

P(x ≤ 3 ≤ 5.4)

For x = 3

z = (3 - 3.2)/0.8 = - 0.25

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.401

For x = 5.4

z = (5.4 - 3.2)/0.8 = 2.75

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.997

Therefore,.

P(x ≤ 3 ≤ 5.4) = 0.997 - 0.401 = 0.596

Answer:

a) $\bar X_A =22.744$

$\bar X_B =20.7$

$\bar X_C =21.013$

$\bar X_D =18.306$

b) $Median_A =\frac{23+24}{2}=23.5$

$Median_B =\frac{20.4+20.4}{2}=20.4$

$Median_C =\frac{21+21}{2}=21$

$Median_D =\frac{20.7+20.7}{2}=20.7$

c) $\bar X_A =23.25$

$\bar X_B =20.7$

$\bar X_C =21.04$

$\bar X_D =20.69$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

Assuming the following data:

Method A: 18.0, 18.0, 18.0, 20.0, 22.0, 22.0, 22.5, 23.0, 24.0,24.0,25.0,25.0, 25.0,25.0,26.0,26.4

Method B: 18.8, 18.9, 18.9, 19.6, 20.1, 20.4, 20.4, 20.4, 20.4,20.5, 21.2. 22.0,22.0, 22.0,22.0,23.6

Method C: 20.2, 20.5, 20.5, 20.7, 20.8, 20.9, 21.0, 21.0,21.0,21.0, 21.0, 21.5,21.5,21.5,21.5,21.6

Method D: 20.0, 20.0, 20.0,-20.0, 20.2, 20.5, 20.5, 20.7, 20.7,20.7, 21.0, 21.1, 21.5, 21.6, 22.1,22.3.

Part a

The sample mean is defined as:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

If we apply this formula for the four methods we got:

$\bar X_A =22.744$

$\bar X_B =20.7$

$\bar X_C =21.013$

$\bar X_D =18.306$

Part b

Since the total number of points for each method is 16 and this is an even number we need to calculate the median as the average between the 8th and the 9th position of the data ordered from the smallest to the largest. If we do this we have that:

$Median_A =\frac{23+24}{2}=23.5$

$Median_B =\frac{20.4+20.4}{2}=20.4$

$Median_C =\frac{21+21}{2}=21$

$Median_D =\frac{20.7+20.7}{2}=20.7$

Part c

The trimmed mean by 20% means that we need to calculate removing the 20% from each of the tails, the 20% of 16 is 3.2, so we need to remove 3 observations from both ends of the data like this:

Method A: 20.0, 22.0, 22.0, 22.5, 23.0, 24.0,24.0,25.0,25.0, 25.0

Method B: 19.6, 20.1, 20.4, 20.4, 20.4, 20.4,20.5, 21.2. 22.0,22.0

Method C: 20.7, 20.8, 20.9, 21.0, 21.0,21.0,21.0, 21.0, 21.5,21.5

Method D: 20.0 20.2, 20.5, 20.5, 20.7, 20.7,20.7, 21.0, 21.1, 21.5.

If we calculate the mean for each method we got:

$\bar X_A =23.25$

$\bar X_B =20.7$

$\bar X_C =21.04$

$\bar X_D =20.69$
