A certain city the Transportation Authority (CTA) has trollies leavingregularly throughout the day beginning at 5:00 a.m. Although thelength of a trip and the number of stops are constant, the time taken foreach trip varies due to weather, traffic, and time of the day. Accordingto the CTA, the mean time taken for the trip is 50 minutes. Supposethe travel time is Normally distributed with standard deviation o = 4minutes. A random sample of 25 trips is obtained, and the time foreach is recorded.Find the probability that the sample mean time will be less than 48minutes.
