Must find the z-score, then use the table. Suppose the salaries of teachers in your city are normally distributed with a mean μ = $50,000 and standard deviation σ = $5,000. A. Find the probability that a teacher chosen at random has a salary between $48,000 and $51,000. B. Find the probability that the sample mean salary of a random sample of 60 teachers is between $48,000 and $51,000. C. What difference do you observe in the two answers? Explain.
