Consider a large population of scores from a negatively skew
Consider a large population of scores from a negatively skewed distribution with mean = 69 and standard deviation = 11. Imagine that you randomly selected a sample from that population that contained 45 scores. What is the PROBABILITY that the mean of the sample is above 64?
Solution
Mean ( u ) =69
 Standard Deviation ( sd )=11
 Number ( n ) = 45
 Normal Distribution = Z= X- u / (sd/Sqrt(n) ~ N(0,1)                  
 P(X > 64) = (64-69)/11/ Sqrt ( 45 )
 = -5/1.64= -3.0492
 = P ( Z >-3.0492) From Standard Normal Table
 = 0.9989
