An automobile battery manufacturer claims that its mid grade battery has a mean life of 50 months with a standard deviation of 6 months Suppose the distribution of battery lives of this particular brand is approximately normal. Find the probability that the mean of a random sample of 36 such batteries will be less than 48 months. Is the assumption of the manufacturers' claims true? Why?
