A recent article published in a medical journal stated that the mean amount spent per person on prescription drugs in a recent year in the United States was about $400 with a standard deviation of $54.

Question
A recent article published in a medical journal stated that the mean amount spent per person on prescription drugs in a recent year in the United States was about $400 with a standard deviation of $54. A random sample of 150 U.S. residents taken from the population found that the estimated mean amount spent per person on prescription drugs every year is $410.
 
(a)
Calculate the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean.
$
(b)
Calculate the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
$
(c)
Write a probability statement that can be used to calculate the probability of obtaining a sample result of a mean of $410 or more if the true population mean is $400.
P(x ≤ 410)P(x ≥ 400)     P(x ≥ 410)P(x ≤ 400)
(d)
Calculate the probability of obtaining a sample result of a mean of $410 or more if the true population mean is 400. (Use SALT. Round your answer to four decimal places.)
