Answer

0.9845

Work Step by Step

$σ_{x̄} = σ / \sqrt n = 16 / \sqrt 15 = 4.13$ To calculate $P(256 \leq x̄ \leq 276)$, we need to find the z-score: $z = \frac{x̄ - μ_{x̄}}{σ_{x̄}}$ $= \frac{256-266}{4.13} = -2.42 $ $= \frac{276-266}{4.13} = 2.42 $ $P(-2.42 \leq z \leq 2.42) = 0.9845$, hence: $P(256 \leq x̄ \leq 276) = 0.9845$
