Answer:
This indicates that the chances of the mean life span today is greater than 70 years is 0.5871
Step-by-step explanation:
The past year showed an average life span of 71.8 years.
Population standard deviation = 8.9 years
We are supposed to find the mean life span today is greater than 70 years
i.e. P(X>70)
Formula :
Z=−0.202
P(X<70)=0.4129
P(X>70)=1-P(X<70)=1-0.4129=0.5871
Hence This indicates that the chances of the mean life span today is greater than 70 years is 0.5871
