thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric native american pot shards discovered in a hopi village were approximately normally distributed with a mean of 5.1 mm and a standard deviation of 0.9 mm. for a randomly found shard, what is the probability that the thickness is
(a) less than 3.0 mm
(b) more than 7.0 mm
(c) between 3.0 and 7.0 mm
mean = 5.1mm; stdev = 0.9mm
Z= (xbar - mu)/stdev
a) Probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm is given by the area under the Z curve on left hand side of the point xbar = 3
=P[Z = (3 - 5.1)/0.9] = P[Z = -2.33] = 0.0099
b) Probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm is given by the area under the Z curve on right hand side of the point xbar = 7
=1 - P[Z = (7 - 5.1)/0.9] =1 - P[Z = 2.11] = 1 - 0.9826 = 0.0174
We have subtracted from 1 since this is a right tailed statistic.
P[X <= a] + P[X > a] = 1
The Z curve gives us the probability upto the point X bar i.e. (X < xbar). SO in order to calculate the area (X > xbar) we subtract it from 1
c) Probability that the thickness is between 3.0 and 7.0 mm is given by the area under the Z curve between the points xbar = 3 and 7
= P[Z = (7 - 5.1)/0.9] - P[Z = (3 - 5.1)/0.9]
= P[Z = 2.11] - P[Z = -2.33]
= 0.9826 - 0.0099
= 0.9727
