The distribution of weekly salaries at a large company is reverse J-shaped with a mean of $1000 and a standard deviation of $370. What is the probability that the sampling error made in estimating the mean weekly salary for all employees of the company by the mean of a random sample of weekly salaries of 80 employees will be at most $75?
-----
n = [z*s/E]^2
-----
80 = [z*370/75]^2
----
sqrt(80) = 4.93z
z = 1.81
------
P(z > 1.81) = 0.035
-----
Ans:: P(condition described) = 2*0.035) = 7%
