The amount of ice cream in a cone has a distribution with a mean of 3.2 ounces per cone and a standard deviation of 0.4 ounces. If there are 50 children to be served ice cream at a birthday party, find the probability that more than 165 ounces of ice cream will be served.
----------------------
165/50 = 3.3
t(3.3) = (3.3-3.2)/0.4 = 0.25
----
P(x > 3.3) = P(t> 0.25) = 0.4018

you give the following
a distribution with and
also you sample 50 children n=50 then you asked
find the probability that more than 165 ounces of ice cream will be served

We have no idea what kind of distribution these data come from.
But saying P(total amount of ice cream>165)=P(Xbar>165/50)=P(xbar>3.3)

We dont know the distribution, but since the analysis is based on the distribution of "averages" and the sample size is large (ie >30) we can rely on the Central Limit theorem to enables us to use the Normal distribution.
P(Xbar>3.3)=P(Z>1.77)=0.038 where Z=(Xbar-)/(/sqrt(n))
