The lengths of adult males' hands are normally distributed with mean 192 mm and standard deviation is 7.2 mm. Suppose that 12 individuals are randomly chosen. Round all answers to 4 where possible. What is the distribution of ¯xx¯? ¯xx¯ ~ N(,) For the group of 12, find the probability that the average hand length is less than 190.  Find the first quartile for the average adult male hand length for this sample size.
