A golf course in California has determined that the mean time it takes for a foursome to complete an 18 hole round of golf is 4 hours 35 minutes (275 minutes) with a standard deviation of 14 minutes. The time distribution is also thought to be approximately normal. Every month, the head pro at the course randomly selects a sample of 8 foursomes and monitors the time it takes them to play. Suppose the mean time that was observed for the sample last month was 4 hours 44 minutes (284 minutes). What is the probability of seeing a sample mean this high or higher?
