A livestock company reports that the mean weight of a group of young steers is 1143 pounds with a standard deviation of 88 pound

s. Based on the model ​N(1143​,88​) for the weights of​ steers, what percent of steers weigh
-Under 1200
-Between 1100 and 1250 pounds?

Answer:

<em>a) P(x<1200)=74.14%</em>

<em>b) P(1100<X<1250)=57.54%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Normal Distribution</u>

The normal distribution, also known as the bell curve, is a distribution that occurs naturally in many situations of life. We use the model N(\mu,\sigma) to understand the behavior of some real-life variables. Where \mu is the mean value and \sigma is the standard deviation.

In our case, we have

\mu=1143,\ \sigma=88

And are required to find the percentage of steers whose weigh lie within a given range. We must use some sort of table or digital means to compute the values because the normal distribution cannot be calculated directly by a formula. We use the NORMDIST (or NORM.DIST) formula for Excel which gives us the left tail of the area behind the bell curve, i.e. the cumulative percentage for a give value of X. The formula has the form

NORM.DIST(x,mean,standard_dev,cumulative)

a) X<1200

The formula is used with the following parameters

NORM.DIST(1200,1143,88,true)

and we get

P(X

b) We need to compute P(1100<X<1250). To do this, we calculate both left tails and the subtract them

NORM.DIST(1100,1143,88,true)=0.3125

NORM.DIST(1250,1143,88,true)=0.8880

P(1100

\boxed{P(1100

Using a discrete probability distribution, it is found that:

a) There is a 0.3 = 30% probability that he will mow exactly 2 lawns on a randomly selected day.

b) There is a 0.8 = 80% probability that he will mow at least 1 lawn on a randomly selected day.

c) The expected value is of 1.3 lawns mowed on a randomly selected day.

<h3>What is the discrete probability distribution?</h3>

Researching the problem on the internet, it is found that the distribution for the number of lawns mowed on a randomly selected dayis given by:

  • P(X = 0) = 0.2.
  • P(X = 1) = 0.4.
  • P(X = 2) = 0.3.
  • P(X = 3) = 0.1.

Item a:

P(X = 2) = 0.3, hence, there is a 0.3 = 30% probability that he will mow exactly 2 lawns on a randomly selected day.

Item b:

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

There is a 0.8 = 80% probability that he will mow at least 1 lawn on a randomly selected day.

Item c:

The expected value of a discrete distribution is given by the <u>sum of each value multiplied by it's respective probability</u>, hence:

E(X) = 0(0.2) + 1(0.4) + 2(0.3) + 3(0.1) = 1.3.

The expected value is of 1.3 lawns mowed on a randomly selected day.

olga nikolaevna [1]
You need one equation for the physical nickels and dimes, which total to 21:

n+d=21

Secondly, you need one equation for the numerical value of those nickels and dimes. We know nickels are worth $0.05 and dime are worth $0.10:
