Question 447239: The mean age at which men in the United States marry for the first time follows the normal distribution with a mean of 24.8 years. The standard deviation of the distribution is 2.5 years. For a random sample of 60 men, what is the likelihood that the age at which they were married for the first time is less than 25.1 years?

----
t(25.1) = (25.1-24.8)/[2.5/sqrt(60)] = 0.9295
---
P(x-bar < 25.1) = P(t < 0.9295 when df = 59) = 0.8220
