Explanation / Answer

Normal Distribution
Mean ( u ) =38
Standard Deviation ( sd )=6
Normal Distribution = Z= X- u / sd ~ N(0,1)                  
P(X < 30) = (30-38)/6
= -8/6= -1.3333
= P ( Z <-1.3333) From Standard Normal Table
= 0.0912                  

For value of n=400 ;
Expected Mean = 9.12*400 = 36.48 ~ 36 It is True

C.

True
