The occupational prestige score (OPS) refers to the consensual nature of rating a job based on the collective belief of its worthiness. The OPS ranges from 0 (least prestigious) to 100 (most prestigious). In the U.S., the distribution of the OPS is approximately normal with mean 45 and standard deviation 16. Suppose that you are going to draw a random sample of 64 Americans. What is the probability that your sample mean will be greater than 48? Find the value from APPENDIX B and type WITHOUT rounding it.
