SOLUTION: The manufacturer of a new compact car claims the miles per gallon (mpg) for the gasoline consumption is mound-shaped and symmetric with a mean of 25.9 mpg and a standard deviation

Question 978190: The manufacturer of a new compact car claims the miles per gallon (mpg) for the gasoline consumption is mound-shaped and symmetric with a mean of 25.9 mpg and a standard deviation of 9.5 mpg. If 30 such cars are tested, what is the probability the average mpg achieved by these 30 cars will be greater than 28?

-----------------
z(28) = (28-25.9)/(9.5/sqrt(30)) = 1.2108
----
P(x-bar > 28) = P(z > 1.2108) = normalcdf(1.2108,100) = 0.1130
