Hi there,
Thanks for letting me work on your post. Here is my explanation:
1. First, we use the formula in excel to figure out the mean and standard deviation.
mean=average(C2:C50)=1263.10, standard deviation=stdev(C2:C50)=62.6765 (Both average and stdev are functions in excel).
z=(1263.10)/(62.6765/sqrt(49))=7.05.
P(z>7.05)=1-P(z<7.05)=0.
Since P value is smaller than 0.05, we could conclude that the average Median SAT is over ...
