I need help with how to do this on my Casio 9750,Scores are normally distributed with a mean of 77. 2 and a deviation of 10. 8, 45 students take the placement test one week. Find the probability that the mean of the students is 80 or above on the test

Answer:

  about 4.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the probability that the mean of 45 students' scores is 80 or above on the test with scores normally distributed with a mean of 77.2 and a standard deviation of 10.8.

Sample mean standard deviation

The standard deviation of the sample mean is the population standard deviation divided by the root of the sample size. Here, the means of samples of 45 students will have a standard deviation of ...

  10.8/√45 ≈ 1.60997

Probability

The probability that the mean will be above 80 is the probability of a z-score above ...

  (80 -77.2)/1.60997 ≈ 1.739

That probability is ...

  P(Z > 1.739) ≈ 4.1%
