The average amount of money spent for lunch per person in the college cafeteria is $7.25 and the standard deviation is $2.53. Suppose that 40 randomly selected lunch patrons are observed. Assume the distribution of money spent is normal, and round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible. What is the distribution of XX? XX ~ N(,) What is the distribution of ¯xx¯? ¯xx¯ ~ N(,) For a single randomly selected lunch patron, find the probability that this patron's lunch cost is between $7.67 and $8.04. For the group of 40 patrons, find the probability that the average lunch cost is between $7.67 and $8.04. For part d), is the assumption that the distribution is normal necessary? YesNo
