Answer:
Where and
We are interested on this probability
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:
And we can find this probability using the complement rule:
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where and
We are interested on this probability
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:And we can find this probability using the complement rule:
For this case we have the following fractions:
We must rewrite the fractions, using the same denominator.
We have then:
We multiply the first fraction by 11 in the numerator and denominator:
We multiply the second fraction by 2 in the numerator and denominator:
Rewriting we have:
For the first fraction:
For the second fraction:
We note that:
Answer:
The fractions are not equivalent:
