Step 1
Solution:
Let X be the value.
From the given information, X follows normal distribution with mean μ=182.5 and a standard deviation σ=49.4. The sample size is 15.
Step 2
The probability that a single randomly selected value is greater than 169.7 is
P(X>169.7)=P(Xμσ>169.7182.549.4)
=P(Z0.259)
=1P(Z<0.259)
=10.3978=0.6022[Using the excel function=NORM.DIST(0.259,0,1,TRUE)]
