A company claims to produce ball bearings with the mean weight of 6 grams and standard deviation of 1 gram. If we take a random sample of size 1000, what is the probability of the mean weight of the sample to be ≤5.9?
a) 0.1
b) 0.59
c) 0.0008
d) None of these
----
z(5.9) = (5.9-6)/1 = -0.1
------
P(x <= 5.9) = P(z <= -0.1) = normalcdf(-100,-0.1) = 0.4602
----
Ans: None of these
