In 2000, as reported by ACT Research Service, the mean ACT Math score was μ=20.7. If ACT Math scores are normally distributed with σ = 5, answer the following questions.
a) What is the probability that a randomly selected student has an ACT Math score less than 18?
---
z(18) = (18-20.7)/5 = -0.54
P(x < 18) = P(z < -0.54) = 0.2946
============================================
b) What is the probability that a random sample of 10 ACT test takers had a mean ACT Math score less than 18?
---
z(18) = (18-20.7)/[5/sqrt(10)] = -1.7076 = 0.0439
