A population of values has a normal distribution with μ=120.6 and σ=48.5. You intend to draw a random sample of size n=105.
Find the probability that a sample of size n=105 is randomly selected with a mean greater than 114.9.
P(M>114.9)=?

Step 1
Solution:
Let X be the value.
From the given information, X follows normal distribution with mean μ=120.6 and a standard deviation σ=48.5. The sample size is 105.
Step 2
The probability that a sample of size n=105 is randomly selected with a mean greater than 114.9 is
P(M>114.9)=P(Mμσn>114.9120.648.5105)
=P(Z>105(5.7)48.5)
=P(Z1.204)
=1P(Z<1.204)
=10.1143=0.8857[Using the excel function=NORM.DIST(0.118,0,1,TRUE)]
