The scores of students on the SAT college entrance examinations at a certain high school had a normal distribution with mean μ=544 and standard deviation σ=29.1.
(a) What is the probability that a single student randomly chosen from all those taking the test scores 548 or higher?
For parts (b) through (d), consider a simple random sample (SRS) of 35 students who took the test.
(b) What are the mean and standard deviation of the sample mean score x¯, of 35 students?
(c) What z-score corresponds to the mean score x¯ of 548?
(d) What is the probability that the mean score x¯ of these students is 548 or higher?
