1. What is the probability of drawing a sample of 800 working adults from Kings County with a sample mean of 45 or more?
2. What is the probability of drawing a sample of 1000 working adults from Kings County with a sample mean below 43?
3. What is the probability of drawing a sample of 500 working adults from Kings County with a sample mean between 42.5 and 44.5?
4. What is the probability of drawing a sample of 1200 working adults from Kings County with a sample mean between 44 and 45?
5. What is the probability of drawing a sample of 900 working adults from Kings County with a sample mean between 44.8 and 46?
