In: Math
For a normal population with a mean equal to 77 and a standard deviation equal to 14, determine the probability of observing a sample mean of 85 or less from a sample of size 8.
P (x less than or equal to 85) =
Solution:
Given that,
mean =
  = 77
standard deviation =
  = 14
n = 8
So,

 = 77

 =  (
/n) = (14 / 
8 ) = 4.9497
P (  
  
  85
)
= P ( 
 - 
/
) < (85 - 77 / 4.9497
)
= P ( z < 8 / 4.949)
= P ( z < 1. 62 )
Using z table
= 0.9474
Probability = 0.9474
