μ=±3P(μ3<Xˉ<μ+3)=P((μ3)μ1.8<XˉμSE<(μ+3)μ1.8)=P(1.67<Z<1.67)=P(Z<1.67)P(Z<1.67)=0.95220.0478=0.9044\mu = ±3 \\ P(\mu-3 < \bar{X} < \mu +3) = P(\frac{(\mu-3) -\mu}{1.8} < \frac{\bar{X} - \mu}{SE} < \frac{(\mu+3)- \mu}{1.8}) \\ = P(-1.67 < Z < 1.67) \\ = P(Z< 1.67) -P(Z < -1.67) \\ = 0.9522 -0.0478 \\ = 0.9044
