A scientist studying water quality measures the lead level in parts per billion (ppb) at each of 49 randomly chosen locations along a water line. Suppose that the lead levels across all the locations on this line are strongly skewed to the right with a mean of 17 ppb and a standard deviation of 14 ppb. Assume that the measurements in the sample are independent. What is the probability that the mean lead level from the sample of 49 measurements ã is less than 15 ppb?

Question
A scientist studying water quality measures the lead level
in parts per billion (ppb) at each of 49 randomly chosen
locations along a water line. Suppose that the lead levels
across all the locations on this line are strongly skewed to
the right with a mean of 17 ppb and a standard deviation
of 14 ppb. Assume that the measurements in the sample
are independent.
What is the probability that the mean lead level from the
sample of 49 measurements ã is less than 15 ppb?
