The mean height of women in a country​ (ages
20−​29)
is
64.2
inches. A random sample of
70
women in this age group is selected. What is the probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than
65
​inches? Assume
σ=2.56.
The probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than
65
inches is
nothing.

The per capita consumption of red meat by people in a country in a recent year was normally​ distributed, with a mean of
107
pounds and a standard deviation of
37.8
pounds. Random samples of size
19
are drawn from this population and the mean of each sample is determined.

Find the probability and interpret the results. If​ convenient, use technology to find the probability.
 
The population mean annual salary for environmental compliance specialists is about
​$62,500.
A random sample of
40
specialists is drawn from this population. What is the probability that the mean salary of the sample is less than
​$60,000​?
Assume
σ=​$6,300.
The probability that the mean salary of the sample is less than
​$60,000
is
nothing.
​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)
 
 
 
(10).
The annual salary for one particular occupation is normally​ distributed, with a mean of about
​$130,000
and a standard deviation of about
​$18,000.
Random samples of
41
are drawn from this​ population, and the mean of each sample is determined. Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of these sample means.​ Then, sketch a graph of the sampling distribution.
The mean is
μx=nothing​,
and the standard deviation is
σx=nothing.
