Question
![A population of values has a normal distribution with \( \mu = 245.3 \) and \( \sigma = 80.6 \). You intend to draw a random sample of size \( n = 179 \).
Find the probability that a single randomly selected value is between 227.2 and 241.1.
\[ P(227.2 < X < 241.1) = \boxed{0.2514} \]
Find the probability that a sample of size \( n = 179 \) is randomly selected with a mean between 227.2 and 241.1.
\[ P(227.2 < M < 241.1) = \boxed{0.0016} \]
Enter your answers as numbers accurate to 4 decimal places. Answers obtained using exact z-scores or z-scores rounded to 3 decimal places are accepted.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/ee233246-0c84-42fd-b2ec-0facfa3f01b2/7cc7af73-5a0a-4abd-8969-a92714de6a74/509i5wb_thumbnail.png)
