Students of a large university spend an average of $6 a day on lunch. The standard deviation of the expenditure is $2. A simple random sample of 81 students is taken. 1. What is the probability that the sample mean will be at least $5.25? 2. What is the probability that the sample mean will be at least $6.50? 3. What is the range of money spent by people who fall within one standard deviation of the mean? 4. Kelsey spent $12 on her lunch today. Explain to her, in terms of the normal distribution curve and standard deviation, why her purchase is not very typical.
