Expert Solution
Step 1

Let the random variable X denote the salary of a sports.

Here X has mean 1.6 and standard deviation 0.81.

That is, X~ N(μ=1.6,σ= 0.81)

Let n denote the number of major league players was taken.

Here, n = 100

The objective is to approximate the probability that the average salary of the 100 players that year exceeded $1.7 million.

That is, P(x¯ > 1.7)
