Question 759322: Suppose the life of a particular brand of calculator battery is normally distributed with a mean of 75 hours and a standard deviation of 10 hours. If 16 batteries are randomly selected from the population, use Table 4 (Standard Normal probability table), software, or the TI-calculator to find the probability that the sample mean life will be between 70 and 80 hours. Use the Central Limit Theorem.

Suppose the life of a particular brand of calculator battery is normally distributed with a mean of 75 hours and a standard deviation of 10 hours.
If 16 batteries are randomly selected from the population, use Table 4 (Standard Normal probability table), software, or the TI-calculator to find the probability that the sample mean life will be between 70 and 80 hours. Use the Central Limit Theorem.
-----
t(70) = (70-75)/[10/sqrt(16)] = -5/[10/4] = -20/10 = -2
---
t(80) = (80-75)/[10/4] = +2
----
P(70< x-bar <80) = P(-2,2,15) = tcdf(-2,2,15) = 0.9361
