Question

if it can be assumed that the population is normal, then what is the probability that one man sampled from this population has a weight between 72kg and 88kg

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that one man sampled from this population has a weight between 72kg and 88kg is 0.6826.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question has the data of mean = 80 kg and standard deviation = 8kg

We have to find the probability between 72 kg and 88 kg

Since it is a normal distribution

(x`- u1 / σ/ √n) < Z >( x`- u2 / σ/ √n)

P (72 <x>88) = P ( 72-80/8/√1) <Z > ( 88-80/8/√1)

= P (-1<Z> 1) = 1- P (Z<1) - P (Z<-1)

= 1- 0.8413- (- 0.8413)= 1- 1.6826= 0.6826

So the probability that one man sampled from this population has a weight between 72kg and 88kg is 0.6826.
