The mean is 112 oz, and the standard deviation is 40 oz. Compute the probability that the mean from a sample of 49 will fall between 103 and 121 oz
------------------
z(103) = (103-112)/[40/sqrt(49)] = -1.575
---
z(121) = (121-112)/[40/sqrt(49)] = +1.575
----
P(103 < x-bar < 121) = P(-1.575 < z < +1.575) = 0.8847
