Cholesterol Study: Blood cholesterol levels in a population are approximately normal with mean μ=200\mu=200 mg/dL and standard deviation σ=30\sigma=30 mg/dL. If we consider the probability 205)"\u003eP(Xˉ\u003e205)P(\bar X\u003e205), explain the effect of increasing the sample size nn on this probability.

Increasing nn decreases 205)"\u003eP(Xˉ\u003e205)P(\bar X\u003e205) because the standard error decreases.

Increasing nn increases 205)"\u003eP(Xˉ\u003e205)P(\bar X\u003e205) because the standard error increases.

Increasing nn leaves 205)"\u003eP(Xˉ\u003e205)P(\bar X\u003e205) unchanged because the mean is fixed.

Increasing nn makes 205)"\u003eP(Xˉ\u003e205)P(\bar X\u003e205) equal to 0.50.5 regardless of nn.

Problem 30Multiple Choice

Cholesterol Study: Blood cholesterol levels in a population are approximately normal with mean $mu equals 200$ mg/dL and standard deviation $sigma equals 30$ mg/dL. If we consider the probability $P of open paren X ˉ is greater than 205 close paren$ , explain the effect of increasing the sample size $n$ on this probability.

Increasing $n$ increases $P of open paren X ˉ is greater than 205 close paren$ because the standard error increases.

Increasing $n$ decreases $P of open paren X ˉ is greater than 205 close paren$ because the standard error decreases.

Increasing $n$ leaves $P of open paren X ˉ is greater than 205 close paren$ unchanged because the mean is fixed.

Increasing $n$ makes $P of open paren X ˉ is greater than 205 close paren$ equal to $0.5$ regardless of $n$ .
