Question 1176409: The mean height of women in a country (ages 20-29) is 63.5 inches. A random sample of 50 women in this age group is selected. What is the probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 64 inches? Assume o= 2.54
The probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 64 inches is?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
z=(x-mean)/sigma/sqrt(n)
>(64-63.5)*sqrt(50)/2.54
>1.39
probability is 0.0823.
Might be a little different third and fourth place depending where you round. I round z to two places.
