document.write( "Question 1203213: Full-time college students report spending a mean of 25 hours per week on academic activities, both inside and outside the classroom. Assume the standard deviation of time spent on academic activities is 4 hours. If you select a random sample of 25 full-time college students, what is the probability that the mean time spent on academic activities is at least 24 hours per week? \n" ); document.write( "
