7.4 Exercise 1

Avg difficulty 2.5

It is learned that the population of White German Shepherds in the USA is 4,000 dogs, and the mean weight for German Shepherds is 75.45 pounds. It is also learned that the population standard deviation is 10.37 pounds.

If the sample size is 225 dogs, then find the probability that a sample will have a mean that differs from the true probability mean by less than 2 pounds.
