The scores of fourth grade students on a mathematics achievement test follow a normal distribution with a mean of 75 and standard deviation of 4. What is the probability the sample mean score of 64 randomly selected students is between 74 and 76?
Solution :
Given that,
mean =
= 75
standard deviation =
= 4
n=64
= 75
=
/
n = 4 /
64=0.5
= P(74<
<76 ) = P[(74 - 75) /0.5 < (
-
) /
< (76 - 75) / 0.5)]
= P(-2 < Z <2 )
= P(Z <2 ) - P(Z <-2 )
Using z table,
= 0.9772 -0.0228
= 0.9544
