Question 761498: Suppose a group of individuals in an area showed and average IQ of 105 with standard deviation of 10. If a sample of 100 individuals from the group is taken, what is the probability that the mean IQ of the individuals is between 102.5 and 106.75?
i.)the problem does not state population is normal. Explain how this affects your potential answer.

Suppose a group of individuals in an area showed an average IQ of 105 with standard deviation of 10. If a sample of 100 individuals from the group is taken, what is the probability that the mean IQ of the individuals is between 102.5 and 106.75?
--------
z(102.5) = (102.5-105)/[10/sqrt(100)] = -2.5
---
z(106.75) = (106.75-105)/[10/sqrt(100)] = 1.75
-----
P(102.5 < x-bar < 106.75) = P(-2.5 < z < 1.75) = 0.9537
