On a test given to all high school students in the state of Maryland, the average score was 82 and the standard deviation was 4.2. If a sample of 100 students is randomly selected, what is the probability that the sample's average is less than 83?
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Determine the z-score of 83.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "z(83) = (83-82)/[4.2/sqrt(100)] = 1/[0.42] = 2.3810
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "P(xbar < 83) = P(z < 2.3810) = 0.9914
