Answer:

7. μ=204.9 and σ=5.4968

8. μ=75.9 and σ=0.7136

9. p=0.9452

Explanation:

7. - Given that the population mean =204.9 and the standard deviation is 81.90 and the sample size n=222.

-The sample mean,
\mu_xis calculated as:


\mu_x=\mu=204.9, \mu_x=sample \ mean

-The standard deviation,
\sigma_x is calculated as:


\sigma_x=(\sigma)/(√(n))\\\\=(81.9)/(√(222))\\\\=5.4968

8. For a random variable X.

-Given a X's population mean is 75.9, standard deviation is 9.6 and a sample size of 181

-#The sample mean,
\mu_x is calculated as:


\mu_x=\mu\\\\=75.9

#The sample standard deviation is calculated as follows:


\sigma_x=(\sigma)/(√(n))\\\\=(9.6)/(√(181))\\\\=0.7136

9. Given the population mean, μ=135.7 and σ=88 and n=59

#We calculate the sample mean;


\mu_x=\mu=135.7

#Sample standard deviation:


\sigma_x=(\sigma)/(√(n))\\\\=(88)/(√(59))\\\\=11.4566

#The sample size, n=59 is at least 30, so we apply Central Limit Theorem:


P(\bar X>117.4)=P(Z>(117.4-\mu_(\bar x))/(\sigma_x))\\\\=P(Z>(117.4-135.7)/(11.4566))\\\\=P(Z>-1.5973)\\\\=1-0.05480 \\\\=0.9452

Hence, the probability of a random sample's mean being greater than 117.4 is 0.9452
