Question 1198517: Scores for a common standardized college aptitude test are normally distributed with a mean of 518 and a standard deviation of 113. Randomly selected students are given a Test Preparation Course before taking this test. Assume, for sake of argument, that the preparation course has no effect.
If 1 student is randomly selected, find the probability that their score is at least 553.4.
P(X > 553.4) =

Using Handheld TI or similarly an inexpensive calculator like an Casio fx-115 ES plus
P(X > 553.4) = normcdf(553.4, 9999, 518,113) = .3770 (accurate to 4 decimal places)
______________
If 20 students are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean score is at least 553.4.
, = 1.401
p(z > 1.401, df 19) = 0.0887 (accurate to 4 decimal places)
