hi, 

I do have the following (easy to solve ) problem but i couldnt 
figure out what to do:

I have a set of equally distributed random numbers ranging from 0.8 to
1.2. If i was to pick n (lets say n=2000) samples what is the
probability that the average of the samples is (1+x, i.e. 1.01) and
not 'exactly' 1?

thanks

juergen
