Question 1197760: Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone National Park has a mean time between eruptions of 85 minutes. If the interval of time between eruptions follows a normal distribution with standard deviation 21.25 minutes, what is the probability that a random sample of 32 time intervals between eruptions has a mean longer than 87 minutes? Include four digits after the decimal.

Hi  
Normal Distribution: µ = 85 and σ = 21.25
n = 32  (NOte:  Sample Size > 30)
Using TI or similarly an inexpensive calculator like an Casio fx-115 ES plus
P(x > 87) =  normcdf( 87, 9999,  85, 21.25/√32) =
Or
 =  = .5324
 1- P( z ≤.5324) = 1- .7027 = 
    
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
