Question

the weights of students in a junior college are normally distributed with a mean of 100 lbs. and a standard deviation of 18 lbs. What is the probability that a student drawn at random will weigh less than 150 lbs

Answer 1

Answer: 0.9973 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Weights of students in a junior college follows normal distribution with a mean = 100 lbs and a standard deviation =18 lbs.

Let X denotes the random variable that represents the weights of students .

Then, the probability that a student drawn at random will weigh less than 150 lbs will be :

$P(X$

Hence, the e=required probability is 0.9973 .
