The mean number of words per minute WPM read by sixth grader
The mean number of words per minute (WPM) read by sixth graders is 89 with a standard deviation of 16. If 66 sixth graders are randomly selected, what is the probabilty that the sample mean would be greater than 92.25.
(92.25-89)/(16/sqrt(66))= 1.65
P(Z> 1.65)
I don\'t know where to go after that. What is P?
Solution
p(z>1.65) = 1 - p(z<=1.65)
Looking at the z-table
p(z <= 1.65) = .9505
Thus,
1 - .9505 = .0495 = p(z>1.65)
