Recall that the population average of the heights in the file "" is μ = 170.035. Using simulation it can be shown that the probability of the sample average of the height falling within 2 centimeter of the population average is approximately equal to 0.925. From the simulations we also got that the standard deviation of the sample average is (approximately) equal to 1.122. In the next 3 questions you are asked to apply the Normal approximation to the distribution of the sample avera...
