A population of values has a normal distribution with μ=154.6 and σ=33.9 You intend to draw a random sample of size n=86.

  1. Find the probability that a single randomly selected value is less than 145.5.
    P
    (X < 145.5) =  Round to 4 decimal places.

  2. Find the probability that the sample mean is less than 145.5.
    P
    (¯¯¯XX¯ < 145.5) =  Round to 4 decimal places.

Answers obtained using exact z-scores or z-scores rounded to 2 decimal places are accepted.
