The average SAT score for the 300 students accepted at Tiny College this year is 1,050 with a standard deviation of 275. If a random sample of 40 students is selected from this class, what is the probability that the average SAT score will be greater than 1,000?

Answer 1

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.
