Answer:
-6.134 to +6.134
Step-by-step explanation:
given that a large population of variable x is characterized by its known mean value of 6.1 units and a standard deviation of 1.0 units and a normal distribution
X is Normal with mean =6.1 and std dev = 1 unit
We are to determine the range of values containing 70% of the population of x
We know that normal distribution curve is bell shaped symmetrical about the mean.
So to find 70% range we can use 35% on either side of the mean
Using std normal distribution table the value of z for which probability from 0 to z is 0.35 is 1.034
Hence corresponding x value is
i.e. 70% values lie between
-6.134 to +6.134
