A random sample size of n=10, population μ=65, σ=19.
Determine P(x<68.9)
Determine P(x ≥66.9)
Solution :
Given that,
mean = 
 = 65
standard deviation = 
 = 19
n = 10

= 65

= 
 / 
n = 19 
10 = 6.0083
a ) P( 
 < 68.9 )
P ( 
 - 
/
) < ( 68.9 - 65 / 6.0083)
P ( z < 3.9 / 6.0083 )
P ( z <0.65)
= 0.7422
Probability = 0.7422
b ) P ( 
  
66.9 )
= 1 - P ( 
  66.9
)
= 1 - P ( 
 - 
/
)  
(66.9 - 65 / 6.0083)
= 1 - P( z  
1.9 / 6.0083 )
= 1 - P ( z 
 0.32 )   
Using z table
= 1 - 0.6255
= 0.3745
Probability = 0.3745
