I'm having trouble solving this problem:
From past experience, a professor knows that the test score of a
student taking her final examination is a random variable with mean
75.
How many students would have to take the examination to ensure with
probability at least .9 that the class average would be within 5 of
75? Use the central limit theorem.
The professor knows that the variance of a student's test score is 25.
I'm not entirely sure on how to solve this problem.
Right now this is what I have:
We know: μ=75 and σ2=25.
This is what I set up (by defn C.L.T): P(X1+⋯+Xn−n755√n≤.9−n755√n)=1−P(X1+⋯+Xn−n755√n>.9−n755√n)
I'm not sure how to solve for n. Thanks.
