Don’t keep your cool and tell her after class or tell her “Can you not”
12,089 is less than 12,098
The first choice is the correct one.
The expected completion time is μ = 40 weeks.
The random variable, X = 38 weeks (the probable time)
If the standard deviation is σ, then the z-score is z = (x - μ)/σ.
Let us test the given standard deviations.
When σ=1,
z = (38-40)/1 = -2
From standard tables,
P(x<=38) = P(z<=-2) = 0.0228 =2.3%
When σ=2,
z = (38*40)/2 = -1
P(x<=38) = P(z<=-1) = 0.1587 = 15.9%
When σ=4,
z = (38-40)/4 = -0.5
P(x<=38) = P(z<=-0.5) = 0.3085 = 30.9%
Answers:
z=1 => 2.3%
z=2 => 16% (approx)
z=4 => 31% (approx)
They y-axis represents the -3 now all that you need to do is line it up to -3 and 3 in the graph
