How was the sample taken? If the observations are taken on a chance basis, then it would be random.
Or are you asking if the sample is within certain range of possible sample means?
Z = (score-mean)/SEm
SEm = SD/√n
Find table in the back of your statistics text labeled something like "areas under normal distribution" to find the proportion/probability related to the Z score.
