Question 930921: Suppose, as is roughly true, the number of hours per week ninth-grade students spend playing video games is distributed normally with a mean of 16.8 hours and a standard deviation of 3.6 hours.
what is the probability that a single randomly selected ninth-grader spends more than 21 hours each week playing video games?
what is the probability the average of 6 randomly selected ninth-graders spend more than 21 hours each week playing video games?

mean of 16.8 hours and a standard deviation of 3.6 hours.
P(a single randomly selected ninth-grader spends more than 21 hours )
z+=+blue%28x+-+mu%29%2Fblue%28sigma%29
P(x > 21) = p(z > 4.2/3.6) = P(z > 1.6667) = normalcdf(1.6667, 100) = .0478
........
P(the average of 6 randomly selected ninth-graders spend more than 21 hours )
z+=blue+%28x+-+mu%29%2Fblue%28sigma%2Fsqrt%28n%29%29
P( xbar > 21) = P( z > 4.2/(3.6/sqrt(6)) = P(z > 2.8577)= normalcdf(2.8577, 100)= .0021
