Answer:

P(X> \mu +1.8\sigma)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{\mu +1.8\sigma-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>1.8)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule:

P(z>1.8)=1-P(z

And using the normal standard distirbution table or excel we got:

P(z>1.8)=1-P(z

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 if interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(\mu,\sigma)  

We are interested on this probability

P(X>\mu +1.8 \sigma)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X> \mu +1.8\sigma)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{\mu +1.8\sigma-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>1.8)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule:

P(z>1.8)=1-P(z

And using the normal standard distirbution table or excel we got:

P(z>1.8)=1-P(z

Probability Definition in Math-

  • Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event to occur. Many events cannot be predicted with total certainty. We can predict only the chance of an event to occur i.e. how likely they are to happen, using it.
  • Four perspectives on probability are commonly used: Classical, Empirical, Subjective, and Axiomatic.
  • For example, the probability of flipping a coin and it being heads is ½, because there is 1 way of getting a head and the total number of possible outcomes is 2 (a head or tail). We write P(heads) = ½ .

  • It’s simple. there are 7 digits, so that would mean you start with 0,000,000 and end with 9,999,999.
  • If the highest digit is 9,999,999 and you add a 1 more to it, you have a total of 10M combinations.
