Assignment #1

This document provides the probabilities of various events related to the mean (x-bar) of a random sample drawn from a normal distribution with mean (μ) of 6 and standard deviation (σ) of 2 based on a sample size (n) of 9. It calculates the probabilities of the mean falling within or exceeding certain ranges by converting the problems into z-score probabilities. The specific probabilities calculated are: a) P(0 ≤ x-bar < 8) = 0.9987 b) P(0 ≤ x-bar < 5) = 0.668 c) P(5 ≤ x-bar < 8) = 0.9319 d) P(3 ≤ x-bar
