Answer:
0.961
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this, find the area under the standard normal curve to the left of 130 pounds:
Using the function normalcdf( on a TI calculator, we get:
normalcdf(-1000, 130, 100, 17) = 0.961
In this case all you do is add all the numbers, answer is 100
suppose the people have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 177 lb and a standard deviation of 26 lb.
Find the probability that if a person is randomly selected, his weight will be greater than 174 pounds?
Assume that weights of people are normally distributed with a mean of 177 lb and a standard deviation of 26 lb.
Mean = 177
standard deviation = 26
We find z-score using given mean and standard deviation
z = 
= 
=-0.11538
Probability (z>-0.11538) = 1 - 0.4562 (use normal distribution table)
= 0.5438
P(weight will be greater than 174 lb) = 0.5438
