Question 608724: In a study, the sys5olic blood pressure for population of female participants are found to have a mean of 120 and a standard deviation of 12. Suppose the the blood pressure of a random sample of 64 female participants is obtained from this study. What is the probability that the sample mean is between 118 and 123?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! In a study, the systolic blood pressure for population of female participants are found to have a mean of 120 and a standard deviation of 12. Suppose the the blood pressure of a random sample of 64 female participants is obtained from this study. What is the probability that the sample mean is between 118 and 123?
-------
z(118) = (118-120)/[12/sqrt(64)] = -4/3
----
z(123) = (123-120)/[12/sqrt(64)] = 2
----
P(118< x-bar < 123) = P(-4/3 < z < 2) = 0.8860
