Assume a random variable x is normally distributed with mean = 90 and standard deviation = 5. Find the indicated probability.

Answer:

16%

Step-by-step explanation:

The indicated probability is actually the area under the standard normal curve to the left of the mean.  I used the function normalcdf( on my TI-83 Plus calculator to find this quantity:

normalcdf(-1000,85,90,5) = 0.1587.

Note #1:  This quantity (area / probability) is the area to the left of 85.

Note #2:  by the Empirical Rule, 68% of data lies within 1 s. d. of the mean, so the area between the mean (90) and the score (85) is half of 68%, or 34%.  Subtracting this from 50% (the area to the left of the mean), we get 16%, which is roughly equivalent to the 0.1587 we got earlier.

Slope Formula: \displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Find points from graph.</em>

Point (0, 3)

Point (1, 5)

<u>Step 2: Find slope </u><em><u>m</u></em>

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope <em>m</em>

  1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:                                                             \displaystyle m=\frac{5-3}{1-0}
  2. [Slope] Subtract:                                                                                              \displaystyle m=\frac{2}{1}
