GOLD IN THE SKY - By Alan E. Nourse
We can see in the story that the setting is in a cockpit, in a lab, simulating a landing to Mars because of this paragraph; "Greg twisted around in the cockpit that had been built just big enough to hold him, and shifted his long legs against the brace-webbing, trying to get them comfortable." We can see that Greg Hunter is nervous, "His heart hammered in his throat, and his eyes ached fiercely, but he paid no attention. His finger crept to the air-speed indicator, then to the cut-off switch." The time period we can state is around the 1950s. It implied the first trip to Mars, "He heard the count-down monitor clicking in his ears, and his hands clenched into fists. How far from Mars would he be 10 minutes from now?" In conclusion, the time is believed to be sometime in the 1950s, and the setting is in a lab where Gregory Hunter is going on a trip to mars when something wrong has happened.

mart [117]

Answer:

0.9726

Explanation:

The computation of the probability of a sample mean is shown below:

$P(\bar x < 24.3)$

To find the probability first we have to determine the z score which is

$z = \frac{\bar x - \mu_{\bar x}}{\sigma_{\bar x}} \\\\ = \frac{\bar x - \mu }{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } \\\\ = \frac{24.3 - 24}{\frac{1.25}{\sqrt{64} } }$

= 1.92

Now probability is

$P(\bar x < 24.3) \\\\= P(z < 1.92)$

= 0.9726

Hence, the probability of the sample mean is 0.9726

We simply applied the above formulas to determined the probability of a sample mean and the same is to be considered
