In: Statistics and Probability
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
