The GPAs of all students enrolled at a large university have an approximately normal distribution with a mean of 3.02 and a standard deviation 0f 0.29. Find the probability that the mean GPA of a random sample of 20 students selected from this university is a) 3.10 or higher. b) 2.90 or lower. c) 2.95 to 3.11.

Constructing Confidence Intervals Use the data set to (a) find the sample mean, (b) find the sample standard deviation, and (c) construct a $99 \%$ confidence interval for the population mean. Assume the population is normally distributed. If convenient, use technology. GPA The grade point averages (GPA) of 15 randomly selected college students $$\begin{array}{llllllll} 2.3 & 3.3 & 2.6 & 1.8 & 0.2 & 3.1 & 4.0 & 0.7 \\ 2.3 & 2.0 & 3.1 & 3.4 & 1.3 & 2.6 & 2.6 & \end{array}$$
