B. Solve the problem below using the Central Limit Theorem

The average teacher's salary in New Jersey is $52 174. Suppose that the distribution is normal
with standard deviation $7 500.What is the probability that a randomly selected 100 teachers make
less than $50 000 per year?
Given: Formula:
μ = 52 174 S = δ/√N

X−μ
δ = 7 500 Z=
S

N = 100

P(X) < 50 000

S = 7 500/√100 = 750

50 000−52 174
Z=
750

Z = -2.8987 ≈ 0.0019

= .5000 – .0019 = 0.4981 or 49.81%

.19%

49.81%
