Question

Scores are normally distributed with a mean = 360 and standard deviation = 60. If a random sample of size 144 is chosen, what is the probability that the sample mean is less than 357?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given information-

Population mean, µ = 360

Population standard deviation, σ = 60

Sample size, n = 144

We have to find the probability that the sample mean is less than 357.
