4 The discrete random variable \(H\) takes values 1, 2, 3 and 4. It is given that \(\mathrm { E } ( H ) = 2.5\) and \(\operatorname { Var } ( H ) = 1.25\). The mean of a random sample of 50 observations of \(H\) is denoted by \(\bar { H }\).
Use a suitable approximation to find \(\mathrm { P } ( \bar { H } < 2.6 )\).
