distribution of xbar:
xbar ~ N(122,58/sqrt(44)) = N(122,8.7438), where standard error (SE) = 8.7348.
probability average friends < 132:
z = (xbar - mu)/SE
P(xbar < 132) = P(z < (132-122)/8.7438) = (z < 1.14) = 0.8729
3rd quartile = 0.75 probability. z-score for 0.75 = 0.674
0.674 = (xbar - 122)/8.7348
xbar = 127.89
assumption of normality is not necessary because the distribution of sample means is assumed to be normal for large sample sizes (>= 30).
