Question 727112: The Nielsen Company reported that children between the ages of 2 and 5 watch an average of 25 hours of television per week. Assume the variable is normally distributed and the standard deviation is 3 hours. If a group of 20 children between the ages of 2 and 5 are randomly selected, find the probability that the mean of the number of hours they watch television will be greater than 26.3 hours.

The Nielsen Company reported that children between the ages of 2 and 5 watch an average of 25 hours of television per week. Assume the variable is normally distributed and the standard deviation is 3 hours. If a group of 20 children between the ages of 2 and 5 are randomly selected, find the probability that the mean of the number of hours they watch television will be greater than 26.3 hours.
------------------
z(26.3) = (26.3-25)/[3/sqrt(20)] = 1.9379
P(z > 26.3) = P(z> 1.9379) = 0.0263
---
If you use the t-distribution you will get:
P(t > 26.3) = tcdf(1.9379,100,19) = 0.0338
