Thread: Distrubution problem?

- The average cholesterol content of a certain brand of eggs is 210 (mg) and the standard deviation is 15 (mg).
If a sample of 25 eggs is selected, find the probability that the mean of the sample will be larger than 215 mg.

Could anyone show me how to work this prob out any help would be appreciated and also the answer is 0.0475.
