Answer:
36.88% probability that her pulse rate is between 69 beats per minute and 81 beats per minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem, we have that:
Find the probability that her pulse rate is between 69 beats per minute and 81 beats per minute.
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 81 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 69.
X = 81
has a pvalue of 0.6844
X = 69
has a pvalue of 0.3156
0.6844 - 0.3156 = 0.3688
36.88% probability that her pulse rate is between 69 beats per minute and 81 beats per minute.
