To interpret his finding, he needs to calculate the probability that a sample of 25 graduates would have a mean of $750 or less when the population mean is $800 and the standard deviation is $100. To rebut the dean's claim, he needs to find out
-

To interpret his finding, he needs to calculate the
probability that a sample of 25 graduates would have a mean of $750 or less when the population mean is $800 and the standard deviation is $100.To rebut the dean's claim, he needs to find out
P (sample mean is less than 770)
P (sample mean is less than 750)
P (sample mean is less than 800)
P (sample mean is greater than 770)
