300

 to

 or more indicating that a person is a very good credit risk. An economist wants to determine whether the mean FICO score is more than the cutoff of 

720

. She finds that a random sample of 

50

 people had a mean FICO score of 

765

 with a standard deviation of 

98

. Can the economist conclude that the mean FICO score is greater than 

720

? Use the
