Question 905056: Given a normal distribution with u=100 and q=10, if you select a sample of n=25, what is the probability that x bar is:
a. less than 95
b. between 95 and 97.5
c. above 102.2
d. there is a 65% chance that Xbar is above what value?
I am trying to use the excel functions and it's not working. Thank you so much

Hi
really recommend us TI Calculator.
However, z values are easy enough manually, and then going to Excel NORMSDIST(z)
a. less than 95: P(z < (95-100)/10/sqrt(25) = P(z < -5/2) =NORMSDIST(-2.5)= .0062
b. between 95 and 97.5: P(z< -1.25 - P(z< -2.5)= .1057 -.0062
TI ,makes this so easy) normalcdf(-2.5, -1.25)
c. above 102.2 = 1 -P(z < 1.1)= 1- .8643
d. there is a 65% chance that Xbar is above what value X?
invNorm(.45) Or Excel NORMSINV(.45)= -.1257 = z
-.1257 = (X-100)/10/sqrt(25)
2(-.1257) + 100 = X
