Rockwell hardness of pins of a certain type is known to have a mean value of 50 and a standard deviation of 1.6. (Round your answers to four decimal
places.)
USE SALT
(a) If the distribution is normal, what is the probability that the sample mean hardness for a random sample of 9 pins is at least 51?
(b) What is the (approximate) probability that the sample mean hardness for a random sample of 38 pins is at least 51?
