The percentage of the snakes is longer than 16.6 in. with a mean of 15 in. and a standard deviation of 0.8 in. is 2.275%.
<h3>What is a normal distribution?</h3>It is also called the Gaussian Distribution. It is the most important continuous probability distribution. The curve looks like a bell, so it is also called a bell curve.
The z-score is a numerical measurement used in statistics of the value's relationship to the mean of a group of values, measured in terms of standards from the mean.
The lengths of a particular snake are approximately normally distributed with a given mean = 15 in. and standard deviation = 0.8 in.
Then the percentage of the snakes is longer than 16.6 in. will be
Then we have
