On the basis of the survey, assume the mean annual salary for graduates 10 years after graduation is 150000 dollars. Assume the standard deviation is 38000 dollars. Suppose you take a simple random sample of 98 graduates.
1. Find the probability that a single randomly selected policy has a mean value between 139252 and 141171.3 dollars.
P(139252 < X < 141171.3) = ___________(Enter your answers as numbers accurate to 4 decimal places.)
2. Find the probability that a random sample of size
n=98 has a mean value between 139252 and 141171.3 dollars.
P(139252 < M < 141171.3) = ________(Enter your answers as numbers accurate to 4 decimal places.)

x=(x-mean)/sd or (xbar-mean)/sigma/sqrt (n)
single, -10748/38000=z=-0.36
and -8828.7/38000=z=-0.23
probability x is in that interval is 0.0496
For a sample of 98, the Std Error of Mean is 38000/sqrt(98)=3838.6
now the z is between -2.80 and -2.30. That probability is 0.0082
