Answer

The distribution must be normal. $μ_{x̄} = 64$ $σ_{x̄} = 3.80$

Work Step by Step

In order to use the normal model to compute probabilities involving the sample mean, the distribution must be normal. Sampling distribution of x̄ is given as: $μ_{x̄} = μ = 64$ $σ_{x̄} = σ/\sqrt n = 17/\sqrt 20 = 3.80$
