Answer

P(X > 34) = 0.0052. This implies that if we take 1000 samples of size 20, about 5 will have a mean mpg of 34 miles per gallon or more.

Work Step by Step

Here we have n = 10 $σ_{x̅} = \frac{σ}{n} = \frac{3.5 }{\sqrt 20} = 0.78$ $z = \frac{x̅ - μ_{x̅}}{σ_{x̅}} = \frac{34-32}{0.78} = 2.56$ P(X > 34) = P(z > 2.56) = 0.0052
