'''
Recent studies indicate that the typical 50-year-old woman spends 
$350 per year for personal-care products. The distribution of the 
amounts spent follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation 
of $45 per year. We select a random sample of 40 women. The mean amount 
spent for those sampled is $335. 

What is the likelihood of finding a sample mean this large or larger 
from the specified population?
