. A random variable X is normally distributed with a mean of 25 and a standard deviation of 5. What is the probability that a randomly selected individual will have a score at or less than 22? If a sample of size n = 8 was taken from this population, what is the probability that the sample mean is less an 22?

Sample Mean:
X =
ΣΧ
Where
Σ
= sum (or add up)
sample mean
= total number of scores, or the sample size
=
n
For a population, mean is represented by the Greek letter mu (µ)
Population Variance:
g² = E (X -µ)²
N
Sample Variance:
s? = E(X-Xy
n - 1
Remember that the standard deviation (o or s) is the square root (v ) of the variance.
Z Score (for one score/individual):
Z = X -µ
Z Score: One Sample Z test:
Z =
= mean of sample
u = mean of population
O = standard deviation of population
n = sample size
In = square root of sample size
