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 |
Homework Answers
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

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...
