How to solve for X with a mean = 9, deviation = 3 and a sample size of 25, P( sample mean > 8) is
Population mean, µ =    9
Population standard deviation, σ =    3
Sample size, n =    25
P( x̅ > 8)          
           
= P( (x̅-μ)/(σ/√n) > ( 8 - 9 )/(3/√25 ) )
= P( z > -1.6667
)                        
= 1 - P( z <
-1.6667)                        
Using excel
function:                                
= 1- NORM.S.DIST( -1.6667 ,
1)                        
=
0.9522
