You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given a population with a mean of 170 and a standard deviation of 12. With a sample of 50 people taken from the population. What is the probability of getting a mean of 168 or lower?
z(168) = (168-170)/[12/sqrt(50)] = -2/1.697 = -1.1785
____
P(x-bar <= 168) = P(z <= -1.1785) = normalcdf(-100,-1.1785) = 0.1193
