Suppose it is known that in a certain large human population cranial length is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 185.6 mm and a standard deviation of 12.7 mm. A random sample of size 10 from this population will have a mean greater than 190 with a=0.05 ? let Z-tabulate = 1.96 and T-tabulate= 2.30
Given a sample with a mean of 151 and a standard deviation of 27, find the probability that a randomly selected value from the sample will be less than 187.0. Round your answer to 3 decimal places, e.g. 0.194.
Pr(X < 187.0)
