Question
A simple random sample of size
nequals=1111
is obtained from a population with
muμequals=6767
and
sigmaσequals=1616.
​(a) What must be true regarding the distribution of the population in order to use the normal model to compute probabilities involving the sample​ mean? Assuming that this condition is​ true, describe the sampling distribution of
x overbarx.
​(b) Assuming the normal model can be​ used, determine
​P(x overbarxless than<71.171.1​).
​(c) Assuming the normal model can be​ used, determine
​P(x overbarxgreater than or equals≥68.468.4​).
