Question

A set of average city temperatures in May are normally distributed with a mean of 20.66 ^\circ \text{C}20.66

Answer 1

Answer:

0.9962

Step-by-step explanation:

The z score shows the number of standard deviations by which the raw score is above or below the mean. If the raw score is above the mean then the z score is positive but if the raw score is less than the mean then the raw score is negative. The z score is given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\ \\\mu=mean,\sigma=standard\ deviation, x=raw\ score$

μ = 20.66°C, σ = 2°C

For x < Singapore temperature, i.e. x < 26

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} =\frac{26-20.66}{2}=2.67$

From the normal distribution table P(x < 26) = P(z < 2.67) = 0.9962
