Question #344793

2. Assume that the weights of a teenager were normally distributed with the mean of 63 kg. and a standard deviation of 2.5 kg.

Given that: μ=63,σ=2.5\mu=63, \sigma=2.5


a. P(Xˉ>62)=P(Z>62632.5)=P(Z>0.4)=1P(Z0.4)=10.3446=0.6554P(\=X>62)=P(Z>\frac{62-63}{2.5})=P(Z>-0.4)=1-P(Z\le-0.4)=1-0.3446=0.6554

(We found P using z-score table)

b.

P(Xˉ>62)=P(Z>62632.5/70)=P(Z>0.048)=1P(Z0.048)=10.4801=0.5199P(\=X>62)=P(Z>\frac{62-63}{2.5/\sqrt{70}})=P(Z>-0.048)=1-P(Z\le-0.048)=1-0.4801=0.5199
