Question

A box contains 100 tickets labeled with numbers. The average of the labels is 14 and the SD of the labels is 8.2. Eighteen tickets will be drawn independently at random with replacement from the box. The chance that the absolute value of the difference between the sample sum of the labels on the tickets and 252 does not exceed 278.32 is: __________

Answer 1
