the parameters of a sample mean of size n = 36.
b) What is the probability that a sample of 36 female students has an average of 167 cm or more
centimeters?
DATOS: µ=165 ; σ=8 ; n=8
SOLUTION:
sample mean 1.33
P(X≥167) 1.50
P(z≥1.50) 0.066807 6.681
The probability that the sample is greater than 167 cm is 6.68%.

2. A random sample of six cars of a certain model has a distribution of
normal population with a mean of 17 and a sample standard deviation of 0.98. Determine the probability
that the average sample gasoline consumption of cars of this model is higher
that 17.6 kilometers per liter.

conclusion the probability that gasoline consumption is higher
your is 7 percent.
