Students at Broward Community College spend an average of $60 per week for food with a standard deviation of 10. This distribution is normally distributed.
If 80 different students are randomly sampled; find the probability that their mean expenditure for food is more than $ 75.
---------
z(75) = (75-60)/[10/sqrt(80)] = 11.62
----
P(x > 75) = P(z > 11.62) = 1.677x10^(-31)
