Question
Please answer the problem. also I believe for the second box in part a is supposed to contain a z square value of the standard deviation and NOT the regular deviation

Explanation / Answer
Solution:-
a) X-bar ~ N (245 , 44/sqrt(56))
b) n = 56, X-bar = 240
Z = (X-bar - mean)/(sd/sqrt(n))
= (240 - 245)/(44/sqrt(56))
= -0.8504
c) P(X-bar > 240) = P(Z > -0.8504)
= 0.8023
d) P(X-bar < x) < 0.80
(x - mean)/(s/sqrt(n)) = Z
(x - 245)/5.8797 = 0.8416
x = 245 + (0.8416*5.8797)
x = 249.9483
