Q.1

Since the sample size greater than 30, the random variable (age) follows Normal Distribution.

Standard Error of the Sample Mean

= Z(elva/2) * Standard Deviation / Square Root of n

= Z(elva/2) * 6/ square root of 36

= Z(elva/2)

Q.2

P(X greater than 26)

= P(Z greater than (26-24)/(6/square root of 36) )

= P(Z greater than 2)

= 0.022750132

The probability of uncertainty (elva).
Find your answer from normal table with respect to different elva.
e.g. elva = 0.05, Z(elva/2) = 1.96
elva = 0.1, Z(elva/2) = 1.645
