A normally distributed population with 200 elements has a mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 10. The probability that the mean of a sample of 25 elements taken from this population will be smaller than 56 is:
------
z(56) = (56-60)/[10/sqrt(25)] = -4/2 = -2
------
P(x-bar < 56) = P(z < -2) = normalcdf(-100,-2) = 0.0228

z=x bar-mean/sd/sart (n)
z<= (56-60)/10/sqrt(25)
<= -4 /2 z=<-2
probability is 0.0228
B.
