What is the probability that the sample mean will be within 6 units of the mean? A random sample of size 43 is to be selected from a population that has a mean μ = 51 and a standard deviation σ of 8.
--------
"Within 6 units means 45 < x-bar < 57
----
z(45) = -6/[8/sqrt(43)] = -4.9181
===
z(56) = +4.9181
----
P(45< x-bar < 57) = P(-4.91 < z < 4.9181) is approximately 1
