Jonathan, a college business student wants to study how many pages of notes fellow classmates took during a semester for a finan
ce class. Past data reveals that pages of notes for a finance college class has a mean of 95 , with standard deviation 25 pages. He plans to take a random sample of 30 such college students and will calculate the mean pages of notes they take to compare to the known pages of notes students take for a finance college class. For these values, the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means for a sample of size 30 are: μx¯=95 and σx¯=2530√=4.6. What is the probability that the sample mean for a sample of size 30 will be at least 99? You may use a calculator or the portion of the z-table given below.
