36-38 The average number of milligrams (mg) of cholesterol in a cup of a certain brand of ice
cream is 660 mg, and the standard deviation is 35 mg. Assume the variable is normally
distributed. If a cup of ice cream is selected, what is the probability that the mean of the sample
will be larger than 670 mg?
Solution: Answer:
