Thank you so much for the enlightening explanation! However, I still can not understand why you directly applied the CLT on the 32 women, while this theorem assumes the calculation of the mean of the sampling distribution. Here is an example: Maybe we need to observe the mean of n=5(or more) of the 32 women(with replacement), and we do it repeatedly 100 or 1000 times. Then we can apply the CLT. Otherwise, the sample age at first marriage of the 32 women might not be normally distributed. Plz, correct me if I am wrong🙏.
The sample mean, the one calculated value, is already a random variable that has a probability distribution. It's that distribution (or rather the standardized version of it) that the CLT is concerned with. You do not need very many sample means. That is often done just to show the CLT in action, but it's not necessary.

Thanks for the wonderful explanation. It would be very helpful if you could elaborate how did you derive the standard deviation of the normal curve (for the average) to be 4/sqrt(n)
Correct, we are always finding an area under the curve when calculating these probabilities. The z table I'm using provides the areas obtained by integrating between 0 and the given z score.
If we are trying to create our own problem, what situations would this apply to? This is only when we have the population mean and population st dev, correct? Like, what if I have all of the sample data, and want to find the probability that the sample data meets a certain criteria (xbar). So in this case I have the literal sample mean and literal sample st dev, but don't have the population mean or population st dev.
This is preparing you to test hypotheses and to create confidence intervals when you get into inference. For example, we might want to know the population mean, but we can’t often gather all of the data to calculate a population mean. A sample mean could be helpful in that case. We know the mean of the sample means is the population mean, so any sample mean is part of a distribution with a center equal to the population mean. This means the sample mean is likely near the true mean on the number line. One simple thing to do is to reach out and scoop up the values close to your sample mean. This set of values (an interval on the number line) is likely to contain the true mean, since the sample mean is usually nearby the population mean. How do we know this though? Well the Central Limit Theorem says that if n is large enough, samples of size n will have sample means that fall on a bell shaped curve. We don’t need to know the true mean, but knowing the true standard deviation is really helpful. Unfortunately, we usually can’t know that. However, we can estimate it using the sample data. If we assume s is close to the true sigma, we can find the standard deviation for the sample means. S/root(n).
I’d like to just say you have given me hope that I can keep my 4.0. I’m studying for my statistics cumulative final and could not for the life of me remember CLT. I was getting so frustrated trying to work it out on my own and here this video popped up and by the end of the video I can confidently say I remember the application! Thank you so much for making videos like this and explaining so clearly without being condescending 🤍 p.s the way you write your fives had me entranced 😂
In the problem, they ask for the probability that the average of a sample is between two values. We need to know the distribution of the mean. That’s where the central limit theorem comes in. You cannot assume the bell curve applies without it. Without that, we could not use our normal probability table.
In this problem, we are looking at the probability of x-bar being inside a given range of values for a sample of 32. X-bar, the sample mean for a random sample of 32 measurements, has a standard deviation of sigma divided by the square root of n (in this example, the square root of 32). If the problem asked about the probability of an individual measurement being in the given range, we would use the provided standard deviation. We would not divide by the root of n in that case.
The average of a standard normal distribution is zero. There are an infinite number of normal distributions. The standard normal curve has mean zero and standard deviation 1, but heights for males in the USA could have a normal distribution with a mean of 69 inches and sd of 2.8 inches. There is no limit to the number of normal curves possible.
(26-25) = 1 is the numerator, and the denominator should be (4 / sqrt32) just like you said. sqrt32 = roughly 5.66, and dividing 4 by 5.66 gives you roughly 0.71. That would leave you with 1 / 0.71 = his 1.41. I'm not sure where exactly you went wrong, but perhaps you simply miss-clicked the numbers on your calculator or otherwise you must've accidentally done some mistake in the order of which you calculated it...
There are many z tables not just one. A z table provides areas between two limits under the standard normal curve. You have to make sure the table your using is for the same region. The one you’re talking about is providing the area from 1.41 to negative infinity. It actually doesn’t matter what table you’re using. The task is the same. You must compare the area provided by the table to the area you are looking for. If they are not the same, you have to figure out how to find what you need. This will involve either subtracting or adding the value from the table to 1 or 1/2 or another value from the table. The table I am using shows the area it provides at the top. All tables have a drawing at the top that shows the area it provides. The table you are finding is very common now because a couple of best selling textbooks have switched to that design. They use two tables actually (a neg and a positive one) to do the work I do with just one table.
I assure you they are correct. This problem is one of my university students’ homework examples. Literally thousands of students have solved this problem over the years, but I’m happy to help you understand if you have a question.

z= X-mu/sigma
And when to use
z= X-mu/sigma÷sqrt(n)

Calculate Var(sum(Xi)/n) using the properties of variance and assuming independence of the Xi's. The formula rolls out of that calculation.
Can you explain why standard deviation divide by square root of n?
amazing video
Thanks
So we’re basically integrating a Gaussian?
Correct, we are always finding an area under the curve when calculating these probabilities. The z table I'm using provides the areas obtained by integrating between 0 and the given z score.

How do you know how many rows to go over in the z table once you have the z scores?
If your looking up z=1.36, you use the left column in the table to find 1.3. Then in that row, you go over until you find the 0.06 position
Thank you so much sir! I thought I was a goner then I saw this video. Thanks again!

Hello my friend. Why did you divide the given standard deviation by the square root of 32?
In this problem, we are looking at the probability of x-bar being inside a given range of values for a sample of 32. X-bar, the sample mean for a random sample of 32 measurements, has a standard deviation of sigma divided by the square root of n (in this example, the square root of 32). If the problem asked about the probability of an individual measurement being in the given range, we would use the provided standard deviation. We would not divide by the root of n in that case.
@@dmcguckian that makes perfect sense. Thank you for taking the time to reply sir.
how every guy calculates his odds at the club.
The average for a normal distribution lies at the middle with a z value of 0.
Isn't it?
How can it lie between 26 and 27.
The average of a standard normal distribution is zero. There are an infinite number of normal distributions. The standard normal curve has mean zero and standard deviation 1, but heights for males in the USA could have a normal distribution with a mean of 69 inches and sd of 2.8 inches. There is no limit to the number of normal curves possible.

ok so i calculated: 26-25 which would be the numerator and (4/sq.rt.32) i got 2 but you got 1.4. i don't understand

it should be 0.4207-0.4977 isn't it? the answer would be - 0.077
If you get a negative probability as an answer, some alarm bells should go off.
