Question 363926: Q)Business Week conducted a survey of graduates from 30 top MBA programs. On the basis of the survey, assume that the mean annual salary for male and female graduates 10 years after graduation is $168,000 and $117,000, respectively. Assume the standard deviation for the male graduates is $40,000, and for the female graduates it is $25,000.
1. What is the probability that a simple random sample of 40 male graduates will provide a sample mean within $10,000 of the population mean $168,000?

-----
t(158,000) = -10,000/[40000/sqrt(40)] = -1.5811
---
t(178000) = 10000/[40000/sqrt(40)] = +1.5811
---
P|158000< xbar < 178000 = P(-1.5811 < t< 1.5811 when df=39) = 0.8781
