The sample mean is less than 26.92 hours per week .
What is standard deviation?
Your dataset's average level of variability is represented by the standard deviation. In general, it reveals how far away from the mean each value is.
A low standard deviation denotes that values are grouped closely to the mean, while a high standard deviation denotes that values are typically spread widely from the mean.
Let X~ Normal (26, 4/√16) distribution ie Normal (26, 1) distribution
We want,
P(X<a) = 0.82
Using standard normal approximation,
P(z< (a-26)/1) = 0.82
Using standard normal distribution tables, we get
(a-26)/1 = 0.915
(Since P(z<0.915) = 0.82)
So, a= 26+0.915= 26.915
So the required value is 26.92 (rounded to two decimals)
