CNNBC recently reported that the mean annual cost of auto insurance is 1035 dollars. Assume the standard deviation is 275 dollars. You take a simple random sample of 54 auto insurance policies.
Find the probability that a sample of size n=54 is randomly
selected with a mean less than 989 dollars.
P(M < 989) =
P(M < 989)
= P((M - )/() < (989 - )/())
= P(Z < (989 - 1035)/(275/))
= P(Z < -1.23)
= 0.1093
