Suppose the test scores of a population of students follow a normal distribution with
mean 80 and standard deviation of 10. Find the probability that a randomly selected
student has score between 65 and 75?
2. Suppose the test scores of a population of students follow a normal distribution with
mean 75 and standard deviation of 10. If the sample size in a study is 25, find the
probability that a random sample has mean score of greater than 78?
Answer:
Hence, P(65 < X < 75) is equal to P(-1.5 < Z < -0.5).
P(-1.5 < Z < -0.5) = P(Z < -0.5) – P(Z < -1.5)
= 0.3085 – 0.0668
= .2417
Therefore, there is 24.17% probability that a randomly selected student has a test score
between 65 and 75.
2. By CLT, X follows approximately normal distribution, with mean E( X ) = μ=75 , and

standard deviation of = =2

Therefore, there is 6.68% probability that a random sample has mean score of greater
than 78.
