Depending on if it’s a straight line, it can be 180 degrees
To solve this problem, we make use of the z statistic.
What we have to do here is to find for the z score using the given data and
from the standard probability tables for z, we locate the proportion of the
fish longer than 12 inches.
The formula for calculating the z score is:
z = (x – μ) / σ
where,
x = the sample value = 12 inches
μ = the sample mean = 11 inches
σ = 2 inches
so,
z = (12 – 11) / 2
z = 1 / 2
z = 0.5
Since we are looking for the values greater than 12, so
this is a right tailed test. Using the tables, the value of p at this value of
z is:
p (z = 0.5) = 0.3085
Therefore there is a 30.85% probability that the fish is
longer than 12 inches.
The anwser is either 2.88 or 3, But others are saying it is 3.
