Ans:
Given that
mean=150
standard deviation=15
a)P(Z>z)=0.8765
P(Z<=z)=1-0.8765=0.1235
z=-1.158
x=150-1.158*15=132.63
b)
P(Z<z)=0.6330
z=0.3398
x=150+0.3398*15=155.097
The question is asking for proportions for each problem and for the answers to be rounded four decimal places Baby weights: The weight of male babies less than 2 months old in the United States is normally distributed with mean 12.5 pounds and standard deviation 5.1 pounds. Use the TI-84 Plus calculator to answer the following. (a) What proportion of babies weigh more than 14 pounds? (b) What proportion of babies weigh less than 16 pounds? (c) What proportion of...
