Example 3: The average sales price of a single-family house in the United States is $290,600. You randomly select 12 single-family houses. What is the probability that the mean sales price is more than $265,000? Assume that the sales prices are normally distributed with a standard deviation of $36,000. Answer:.9931 Interpretation: 99.31% of samples of 12 single-family houses will have a mean sales price greater than $265,000.

Notice the wording! From consumer reports, the price for LCD monitors are normally distributed with a mean of $190 and a standard deviation of $48. What is the probability that a randomly selected LCD monitor costs less than $200? Answer:.5825 You randomly select 10 LCD monitors. What is the probability that their mean cost is less than $200? Answer:.7449 Notice: If there is mention of looking at a sample from the population, you must use The Central Limit Theorem.
