A bank's loan officer rates applicants for credit approval. The ratings are normally distributed with a mean of 200 and a standard deviation of 50. If 40 different applicants are randomly selected, what is the chance that the mean rating will be above 215?
z(215) = (215-200)/[50/sqrt(40)] = 1.8974
P(x-bar > 215) = P(z > 1.8974) = normalcdf(1.8974,100) = 0.0289
