Consider a population with u=71.7 and s = 3.95.
(A) Calculate the z-score for x=70.3 from a sample of size 41.
z(70.3) =(70.3-71.7)/3.95 = -0.3544
---------------------------------------------
(B) Could this z-score be used in calculating probabilities using Table 3 in Appendix B of the text? Why or why not?
Comment: Don't have that Table.
