TABLE – 4
P(X > 136) = (136-120)/9.75
= 16/9.75 = 1.641
= P ( Z >1.641) From Standard Normal Table
= 0.0504
Result is usual as it lies in [0,1]
TABLE – 6
Mean of Sample 24 observations ( u ) = 113.85
Standard Deviation ( sd )=12.76
Normal Distribution = Z= X- u / sd ~ N(0,1)
P(X > 136) = (136-113.85)/12.76
= 22.15/12.76 = 1.7359
= P ( Z >1.736) From Standard Normal Table
= 0.0413
Result is usual as it lies in [0,1]

this result unusual – why or why not?
TABLE – 4
P(X > 136) = (136-120)/9.75/ Sqrt ( 5 )
= 16/4.36= 3.6694
= P ( Z >3.6694) From Standard Normal Table
= 0.0001
Result is unusual as it lies almost in extremes[0,1]
TABLE – 6
P(X > 136) = (136-113.85)/12.76/ Sqrt ( 5 )
= 22.15/5.706= 3.8816
= P ( Z >3.8816) From Standard Normal Table
= 0.0001
Result is unusual as it lies almost in extremes[0,1]
TABLE – 7
P(X > 136) = (136-113.5)/11.12/ Sqrt ( 5 )
= 22.5/4.973= 4.5244
= P ( Z >4.5244) From Standard Normal Table
=0
Result is unusual as it lies at extremes [0,1]
