    0.6808

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First, find the standard deviation of the sample.

    s = σ / √n

    s = 3 / √49

    s = 0.429

    Next, find the z-score.

    z = (x - μ) / s

    z = (28.8 - 29) / 0.429

    z = - 0.467

    Use a calculator or z-score table to find the probability.

    Using a table:

    P (x > - 0.47) = 1 - 0.3192 = 0.6808

    Using a calculator:

    P (x > - 0.467) = 0.6796
