A population of values has a normal distribution with
μ=100.3μ=100.3 and σ=68.6σ=68.6. You intend to draw a random sample
of size n=120n=120.
Find the probability that a sample of size n=120n=120 is randomly
selected with a mean between 103.4 and 118.5.
P(103.4 < M < 118.5) =

µ = 100.3
σ = 68.6
n= 120
we need to calculate probability for ,
103.4 ≤ X ≤ 118.5
X1 = 103.4 , X2 =
118.5
Z1 = (X1 - µ )/(σ/√n) = ( 103.4
- 100.3 ) / ( 68.6
/ √ 120 ) = 0.495
Z2 = (X2 - µ )/(σ/√n) = ( 118.5
- 100.3 ) / ( 68.6
/ √ 120 ) = 2.906
P ( 103.4 < X <
118.5 ) = P (
0.50 < Z < 2.91 )
= P ( Z < 2.906 ) - P ( Z
< 0.495 ) =
0.9982 - 0.6897 =
0.3085
