There is a test which is normally distributed with a mean of 30 and a standard deviation of 4. Find the probability that a sample of 36 scores will have a mean at most 31.5.
Solution :
Given that ,
mean = = 30
standard deviation = = 4
n = 36
= = 30
= / n = 4 / 36 = 0.667
P( 31.5 ) = P(( - ) / (31.5 - 30) / 0.667 )
= P(z 2.25)
Using z table
= 0.9878
