Group Exercise: Standard Scores

Calculate the standard score (Z) and determine the probability for the following conditions. The mean hourly wage for New Yorkers with a college degree is $18.25. The population standard deviation is $11.80. Each group will demonstrate their work on the whiteboard.

You can compute the area under the normal curve here: http://www.stat.berkeley.edu/~stark/SticiGui/Text/clt.htm#normal_curve
