Answer:

100% probability that the sample mean scores will be between 87 and 124 points

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation, which is also called standard error s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 105, \sigma = 20, n = 20, s = \frac{20}{\sqrt{20}} = 4.47

What is the probability that the sample mean scores will be between 87 and 124 points

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 124 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 87. So

X = 124

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{124 - 105}{4.47}

Z = 4.25

Z = 4.25 has a pvalue of 1

X = 87

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{87 - 105}{4.47}

Z = -4.25

Z = -4.25 has a pvalue of 0

1 - 0 = 1

100% probability that the sample mean scores will be between 87 and 124 points
