Solution Steps

Step 1: Probability that the Sample Mean Rent is Greater than $2769

To find the probability that the sample mean rent is greater than \$2769, we calculate:

\[ P(X > 2769) = 1 - P(X \leq 2769) = 1 - \Phi(Z_{end}) \]

Where \( Z_{end} \) is the Z-score corresponding to \$2769. The calculated probability is:

\[ P(X > 2769) = 0.5801 \]

Step 2: Probability that the Sample Mean Rent is Between $2568 and $2668

Next, we determine the probability that the sample mean rent is between \$2568 and \$2668:

\[ P(2568 < X < 2668) = P(X < 2668) - P(X < 2568) = \Phi(Z_{end}) - \Phi(Z_{start}) \]

The calculated probability for this range is:

\[ P(2568 < X < 2668) = 0.1118 \]

Step 3: 55th Percentile of the Sample Mean

To find the 55th percentile of the sample mean, we first calculate the Z-score for the 55th percentile:

\[ Z_{55} = 0.1257 \]

Then, we use this Z-score to find the corresponding sample mean:

\[ X_{55} = \mu + Z_{55} \cdot \sigma_{X} = 2699 + 0.1257 \cdot \left(\frac{3513}{\sqrt{103}}\right) \]

The calculated 55th percentile of the sample mean rent is:

\[ X_{55} = 2742.5 \]

Final Answer

The results for each part are as follows:

  • Probability that the sample mean rent is greater than \$2769: \\(\boxed{0.5801}\\)
  • Probability that the sample mean rent is between \$2568 and \$2668: \\(\boxed{0.1118}\\)
  • 55th percentile of the sample mean rent: \\(\boxed{2742.50}\\)
