Given a distribution that has a mean of 40 and a standard deviation of 13, calculate the probability that a sample of 49 has a sample mean that is no more than 35
Solution :
Given that ,
mean = = 40
standard deviation = = 13
n = 49
= 40
= / n = 13/ 49=1.8571
P( <35 ) = P[( - ) / < (35-40) /1.8571 ]
= P(z < -2.69)
Using z table
= 0.0036
probability= 0.0036
