Replacement times for new Ford Taurus GL automobiles are normally distributed with a mean of 7.1 years and a standard deviation of 1.4 years. Find the probability that seven randomly selected Taurus GL automobiles will have a mean replacement time greater than 7.0 years.
get z=.071 a=4721 and .5279
----------
z(7)=[7-7.1]/(1.4/sqrt7) = -0.18898
Prob(X>7)= Prob(z>-0.18898)=0.5749 or 57.49%
--------
