For parts c) and d), you would use the formula SE = s/sqrt(n) where
SE = standard error (this is the standard deviation of the xbar distribution)
s = standard deviation (in this case, s = 9)
n = sample size (for part c), n = 5 ... for part d), n = 10)
-------------------------------------------------------
Once you've computed the standard error (SE), you can now recompute the z-score.
You will use the formula
z = (x-mu)/SE
and then you find the area to the right of that z-score using a calculator or table.

c)What is the probability that the mean score for 5 randomly selected people who took the LSAT would be above 157? Round your answer to three decimal places.
The standard deviation is 9/sqrt(5)
z(157) = (157-150)/(9/sqrt(5)) = (7/9)*sqrt(5) = 0.778*sqrt(5) = 1.739
==================================
d)What is the probability that the mean score for 10 randomly selected people who took the LSAT would be above 157? Round your answer to three decimal places.
Ans: (0.778)*sqrt(10) = 2.46
=====================================
Note:: Check the Central Limit Theorem to under stand why
the standard deviation changes when you have a sample of data.
