Question

The scores of students on the SAT college entrance examinations at a certain high school had a normal distribution with mean μ=555.8 and standard deviation σ=25.5 Round z-scores and probabilities to 4 decimal places.

(a) What is the probability that a single student randomly chosen from all those taking the test scores 559 or higher?

For parts (b) through (d), consider a simple random sample (SRS) of 30 students who took the test.

(b) What are the mean and standard deviation of the sample mean score x¯ of 30 students?
The mean of the sampling distribution for x¯  is:

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution for  x¯ is 

c) What z-score corresponds to the mean score x¯ of 559

What is the probability that the mean score x¯of these students is 559 or higher
