Question 2
The Dilmart Company has 8,000 parts in inventory. The mean dollar value of these parts is 10.79 with a standard deviation equal to 3.34.
Suppose the inventory manager selected a random sample of n = 64 parts from the inventory and found a sample mean equal to 11.27. The probability of getting a sample mean at least as large as 11.27 is approximately 0.444. Indicate whether the statement is true or false
