the random variable x has a B(40, 0.3) distribution. the mean of a random sample of n observations of x is denoted by x bar

find P(xbar >= 13)

i dont know how to do this because n isnt given

thanks
why isn't just 40 X~B(n,p) so n=40? - what answer does the book give anyway

what did u get? There's table for 40, isn't it?
P(X>=13) = 1- P(X<=12). Did u do like that?
