a. What is the probability of having a sample mean equal to or smaller than the sample mean for this sample if the population mean is 12 processed returns daily with a standard deviation of 3 returns per day?

b. What is the probability of having a sample mean larger than the one obtained from this sample if the population mean is 12 processed returns daily with a standard deviation of 3 returns per day?

c. Explain how it is possible to answer parts a and b when the population distribution of daily tax returns at Many Happy Returns is not known.
