Using the normal distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0436 = 4.36% probability that a randomly selected caterpillar will have a length longer than (greater than) 4.0 centimeters.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
  • Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem, the mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:

\mu = 2.8, \sigma = 0.7.

The probability that a randomly selected caterpillar will have a length longer than (greater than) 4.0 centimeters is <u>one subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 4</u>, hence:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{4 - 2.8}{0.7}

Z = 1.71

Z = 1.71 has a p-value of 0.9564.

1 - 0.9564 = 0.0436.

0.0436 = 4.36% probability that a randomly selected caterpillar will have a length longer than (greater than) 4.0 centimeters.

VLD [36.1K]
Replace f(x) in the equation with what it equals:

4 \times (-3x - 8)

Distribute 4 to each term in parentheses:

4 \times -3x = -12x
4 \times -8 = -32

-12x - 32
