The average number of shoppers at a particular grocery store in one day is 505, and the standard deviation is 115. The number of shoppers is normally distributed. For a random day, what is the probability that there are between 200 and 400 shoppers at the grocery store? The answer should be typed as a decimal with 4 decimal places.

Suppose that X~N(5000,400). You're considering taking a simple random sample and calculating the average of your sample. The Central Limit Theorem tells us that the distribution of all possible sample averages is Normally distributed with a mean of 5000. If you took a sample of size n = 10000, what is the standard deviation of that sample?
