You run a factory that produces widgets (no, you'll never escape the widgets). Widget diameters are distributed normally, with a mean of 122mm and a standard deviation of 10mm. You take a random sample of 16 widgets off the factory floor.  What is the probability that this sample average is greater than 123? Round your answer to three decimal places, eg 0.192. b. X is distributed as a Normal random variable with mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 10 (i.e X~N(80,10). You take a random sample of 20 items from X and you calculate the average of this sample. What is the expected value of this sample average? (i.e. what value would you expect to get for the average of this small sample?

a. You run a factory that produces widgets (no, you'll never escape the widgets). Widget diameters are distributed normally, with a mean of 122mm and a standard deviation of 10mm. You take a random sample of 16 widgets off the factory floor. 

What is the probability that this sample average is greater than 123? Round your answer to three decimal places, eg 0.192.

b. X is distributed as a Normal random variable with mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 10 (i.e X~N(80,10). You take a random sample of 20 items from X and you calculate the average of this sample. What is the expected value of this sample average? (i.e. what value would you expect to get for the average of this small sample?
