For a normal population with = 60 and = 20, what is the SE, Z-score and the probability of obtaining a sample mean equal to or greater than 65 for a random sample of n = 100? Show your work for SE and Z-score calculations. 2 pts

Solution :
Given that ,
mean = = 60
standard deviation = = 20
n = 100
= = 60
SE = = / n = 20/ 100 = 2
= 65
Using z-score formula,
z = - /
Z = 65 - 60 / 2
z = 5 / 2
z = 2.50
P( ≥ 65 ) = 1 - P( 65)
= 1 - P[( - ) / (65 - 60) / 2 ]
= 1 - P(z 2.50 )
Using z table,
= 1 - 0.9938
= 0.0062
