| 6. | What is the probability that the mean GPA for 64 randomly selected BYU-Idaho students will be less than 3.5? |

Solution
(5) mean=3.7 (stay the same)
standard deviation= s/vn =0.9/sqrt(64) = 0.1125
Answer: mean = 3.7 standard deviation = 0.113
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(6) P(xbar<3.5)
=P((xbar-mean)/(s/vn) < (3.5-3.7)/ 0.1125)
=(Z<-1.78)
=0.0375 (from standard normal table)
