Question 10: Probability
Suppose that the weights of a certain type of bear are normally distributed with mean 324 lbs and standard deviation 25 lbs. If three such bears are randomly selected, find the probability that exactly one of them has a weight that is less than 342 lbs. Give answer to 4 decimal places |
Solution :
Given that,
mean = = 324
standard deviation = = 25
P(X<342) = P[(X- ) / < (342-324) /25 ]
= P(z < 0.72)
Using z table
= 0.7642

the weights of steers in a herd are distributed normally. the standard deviation is 300 lbs and the mean steer weight is 1400 lbs. find the probability that the weight of a randomly selected steer is less than 1790 lbs. round your answer to four decimal places.
20. The weights of steers in a herd are distributed normally. The standard deviation is 300 lbs and the mean steer weight is 1300 lbs. Find the probability that the weight of a randomly selected steer is less than 1476 lbs. Round your answer to four decimal places.
The weights of newborns are normally distributed with a mean 9 lbs and standard deviation 2.4 lbs. Using the Empirical Rule determine the probability that the weight of a newborn, chosen at random, is less than 1.8 lbs? The probability that a weight of randomly selected newborn is less than 1.8 lbs is:
The weights of steers in a herd are distributed normally. The standard deviation is 200 lbs and the mean steer weight is 1200 lbs. Find the probability that the weight of a randomly selected steer is greater than 1479 lbs. Round your answer to four decimal places,
The weights of steers in a herd are distributed normally. The standard deviation is 200lbs and the mean steer weight is 1000lbs. Find the probability that the weight of a randomly selected steer is between 720 and 1160 lbs. Round your answer to four decimal places.
7. The weights of a certain brand of candies are normally distributed with a mean weight of 0.8551 g and a standard deviation of 0.0521 g. A sample of these candies came from a package containing 446 candies, and the package label stated that the net weight is 380.7 g. (If every package has 446 candies, the mean weight of the candies must exceed 308.7/446 = 0.8536 g for the net contents to weigh at least 380.7 g.) b. If...
The weights of a certain brand of candies are normally distributed with a mean weight of 0.8604 g and a standard deviation of 0.052 g. A sample of these candies came from a package containing 459 candies, and the package label stated that the net weight is 391.99. (If every package has 459 candies, the moon weight of the candies 391.9 must exceed 250 =0.8539 g for the net contents to weigh at least 391.99.) a. If 1 candy is...
Suppose that the weights of adult males are normally distributed with a mean of 172 lbs and a standard deviation of 29 lbs. What is the probability that one randomly selected adult male will weigh more than 180 lbs? Select one: a. 0.084 b. 0.39 c. 0.61 d. 0.916
5. Assume that women's weights are normally distributed with a mean given by -1431b and a standard deviation given by ơ 29 lb. If I woman is randomly selected, find the probability that her weight is less than 140 lbs. Is a continuity correction necessary? Explain. (10 points)
The weights of a certain brand of candies are normally distributed with a mean weight of 0.8595 g and a standard deviation of 0.0521 g. A sample of these candies came from a package containing 462 candies, and the package label stated that the net weight is 394.5 g. (If every package has 462 candies, the mean weight of the candies must exceed 4620.8539 g for the net contents to weigh at least 394.5 g.) a. If 1 candy is...
