Work Step by Step

Given $\mu=82000,\sigma=5000,n=50,N=800$ we have $n/N=50/800=0.0625>0.05$, we should use a correction factor for the standard error, hence $\sigma_{\bar X}=\frac{5000}{\sqrt {50}}\times\sqrt {\frac{800-50}{800-1}}=685.08$ so $z=\frac{83500-82000}{685.08}=2.1895$. Use table E or a calculator, the probability that the mean of the values of these homes is greater than 83,500 is given by $P(X>83500)=1-P(z)=1-0.9857=0.0143$
