1. Calculez l'erreur standard :

\sigma_{\bar{X}} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{50}} \approx 0.5657

2. Trouvez les valeurs Z associées à 23 et 26.

Pour \( x = 23 \) :

Z_1 = \frac{23 - 25}{0.5657} \approx -3.54

Pour \( x = 26 \) :

Z_2 = \frac{26 - 25}{0.5657} \approx 1.77

3. Utilisez les tables de distribution normale pour trouver les probabilités :

P(Z < -3.54) \approx 0.0002

P(Z < 1.77) \approx 0.9616

La probabilité cherchée est :

P(Z_1 < Z < Z_2) = P(Z < 1.77) - P(Z < -3.54) \approx 0.9616 - 0.0002 = 0.9614

4. Conclusion : La probabilité que la moyenne de l'échantillon se situe entre 23 et 26 est approximativement 0.9614, or 96.14%.
