Question 38

The viscosity of a specific liquid polymer, VVV, is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 1420 mPa·s and a standard deviation of 115 mPa·s. A quality control engineer takes a random sample of 24 independent batches to monitor the stability of the production line. Determine the probability that the mean viscosity of this sample, Vˉ\bar{V}Vˉ, is less than 1385 mPa·s.
