    A population has a mean of 84 and standard deviation of 18. The document provides two examples calculating the probability of random sample means. The first calculates a probability of a sample size of 48 having a mean of 88 or more, getting a z-score of 1.54. The second calculates a probability of a sample size of 120 having a mean of 80 or more, getting a z-score of -2.43. Both examples demonstrate calculating z-scores from sample means and using the standard normal distribution.

    Example 1
    A population distribution has a mean 𝜇 = 84 and standard deviation of 𝜎 = 18.
    What is the probability that a random sample size of n = 48 and a mean of 88
    or more? Let us find P( X≥ 88).
    𝑿−𝝁 𝟖𝟖 − 𝟖𝟒 𝟒
    𝒛= 𝒛= 𝒛= 𝒛 =𝟏 .𝟓𝟒
    𝝈 𝟏𝟖 𝟐 . 𝟓𝟗𝟖
    √𝒏 √ 𝟒𝟖
    Example 2
    A population distribution has a mean = 84 and a standard deviation of = 18.
    What is the probability that a random sample size of n = 120 and a mean of
    greater than 80? Let us find P( X≥ 80)
