The probability that the mean of a sample of 25 people is less than 10 is approximately 0.0027. The probability that the mean is greater than 10 is approximately 0.9973. The probability that the mean is between 11 and 12 is approximately 0.4177.

It seems that I attempted to use the wrong approach to find the probabilities. Instead, I will provide the values based on the standard normal distribution table. ### Step 1: Find the probabilities using the standard normal distribution table 1. **For \( z = -2.78 \)**: - From the standard normal distribution table, \( P(Z < -2.78) \approx 0.0027 \). 2. **For \( z = 0 \)**: - From the standard normal distribution table, \( P(Z < 0) = 0.5 \). 3. **For \( z = -1.39 \)**: - From the standard normal distribution table, \( P(Z < -1.39) \approx 0.0823 \). ### Step 2: Calculate the probabilities for each part #### Part 1: Probability that the mean of a sample of 25 people is less than 10 \[ P(\bar{X} < 10) = P(Z < -2.78) \approx 0.0027 \] #### Part 2: Probability that the mean of a sample of 25 people is greater than 10 \[ P(\bar{X} > 10) = 1 - P(\bar{X} < 10) = 1 - 0.0027 \approx 0.9973 \] #### Part 3: Probability that the mean of a sample of 25 people is between 11 and 12 \[ P(11 < \bar{X} < 12) = P(Z < 0) - P(Z < -1.39) = 0.5 - 0.0823 \approx 0.4177 \] ### Final Answers 1. \( P(\bar{X} < 10) \approx 0.0027 \) 2. \( P(\bar{X} > 10) \approx 0.9973 \) 3. \( P(11 < \bar{X} < 12) \approx 0.4177 \) All probabilities are rounded to four decimal places as requested.

To find the probabilities regarding the sample means, we first need to calculate the standard error (SE) and use the normal distribution. ### Part 1 1. Calculate the standard error (SE): \[ SE = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{3.6}{\sqrt{25}} = \frac{3.6}{5} = 0.72 \] 2. Calculate the z-score for \( \bar{X} = 10 \): \[ z = \frac{\bar{X} - \mu}{SE} = \frac{10 - 12}{0.72} = \frac{-2}{0.72} \approx -2.78 \] 3. Look up \( z = -2.78 \) in the standard normal distribution table: \[ P(Z < -2.78) \approx 0.0027 \] ### Part 2 1. For \( P(\bar{X} > 10) \): \[ P(Z > -2.78) = 1 - P(Z < -2.78) = 1 - 0.0027 \approx 0.9973 \] 2. Calculate the z-scores for \( \bar{X} = 11 \) and \( \bar{X} = 12 \): For \( \bar{X} = 11 \): \[ z = \frac{11 - 12}{0.72} = \frac{-1}{0.72} \approx -1.39 \] From the Z-table, \( P(Z < -1.39) \approx 0.0823 \) For \( \bar{X} = 12 \): \[ z = \frac{12 - 12}{0.72} = 0 \] From the Z-table, \( P(Z < 0) = 0.5 \) 3. To find \( P(11 < \bar{X} < 12) \): \[ P(11 < \bar{X} < 12) = P(Z < 0) - P(Z < -1.39) = 0.5 - 0.0823 \approx 0.4177 \] ### Final Answers - \( P(\bar{X} < 10) = 0.0027 \) - \( P(\bar{X} > 10) = 0.9973 \) - \( P(11 < \bar{X} < 12) = 0.4177 \) And don’t forget to always double check your calculations and look out for those sneaky little rounding errors!
