    Normalcdf (78, 82, 80, 8/√ (64)) = 0.9544997361

    The standard deviation of the sample mean will be 8/√64 = 1, so you are asking for the probability that the value will be within 2 standard deviations of the mean. This is a number most statistics students are asked to memorize.

    Your probability is about 0.9545.
