Find how likely a sample mean is, using the central limit theorem.

The math behind it

z = (x̄ − μ) ÷ (σ/√n), then look up the normal CDF for the probability.

Worked Example

μ 100, σ 15, n 36, x̄ 103 → z 1.2, P(≤) ≈ 0.885.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why divide by √n?

Sample means vary less than individuals, by a factor of √n.
