CNNBC recently reported that the mean annual cost of auto insurance is 974 dollars. Assume the standard deviation is 153 dollars. You will use a simple random sample of 144 auto insurance policies. Find the probability that a single randomly selected policy has a mean value between 957.4 and 972.7 dollars. P(957.4
