b) The mean of the distribution is not significantly less than 150

c) P(z) = 20.23%

d) find a 95% confidence interval:

a) H0: mu = 800 cs
H1: mu ≠ 800 cs y_bar = 812
sigma = 25

b) the value of the mean is statistically equal to 800 cs
z = (y_bar-mu)/(sigma/SQRT(N)) = 1.92
P(z) = 2*(1-NORMSDIST(z)) = 0.054858

c) P(z) = 2*(1-NORMSDIST(z)) = 5.4858%

d) 95% confidence interval:

y_lower = NORMINV(0.025, mu, sigma/SQRT(N)) = 787.750225096625

138.2925

N=(6∗z )2=138. 2925

since it is impossible to perform 138.2925 trials, this number should be rounded up to 139.
Therefore, there should be 139 trials.
