In a spreadsheet, you can use the function NORM.DIST(upper bound, μ, σ, TRUE) to find the area under a normal curve for values o

f x less than or equal to a specified upper bound. Suppose the heights of all the children in a state are normally distributed with a mean of 41 inches and a standard deviation of 4 inches. What is the probability that a randomly chosen child is greater than 34 inches tall?

Given Information:

Mean height of children = μ = 41 inches

Standard deviation of height of children = σ = 4 inches

Required Information:

Using Excel find P(x > 34) = ?

Answer:

P(x > 34) = 95.99%

Explanation:

What is Normal Distribution?

We are given a Normal Distribution, which is a continuous probability distribution and is symmetrical around the mean. The shape of this distribution is like a bell curve and most of the data is clustered around the mean. The area under this bell shaped curve represents the probability.  

The Microsoft Excel has a built-in function "NORMDIST" which calculates the probability of a normal distribution.

Syntax:

NORMDIST(x, mean, standard deviation, cumulative flag)  

Where x is the variable of interest

Cumulative flag = TRUE or FALSE

The probability that a randomly chosen child is greater than 34 inches tall is given by

P(x > 34) = 1 - P(x < 34)

Using MS Excel,

P(x > 34) = 1 - NORM.DIST(34,41,4,TRUE)

Which return the probability of

P(x > 34) = 1 - 0.040059

P(x > 34) = 0.959941

P(x > 34) = 95.99%

Therefore, there is 95.99% probability that a randomly chosen child is greater than 34 inches tall.

Comparing Theater Sales<br> I need help A.S.A.P!!!
Yuki888 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

oh come on ! you can see that with common sense : it is 2)

while the data itself is the same, but in figure B it is kind of suggested that "Super Cinema" had twice the sales of "Bud's Movies". which is not the case at all.

and that is one of the problems, when you don't show the whole data range (which happens when you don't start the data range at the actual beginning - like 0 in this case).

as I keep saying : never trust a statistic you have not falsified yourself ...

11,990

9% of 5500 is 495
(495+5500) [one year] x 2 [two years] = $11,990

At the end of 2 years, Aldo will owe $11,990.

Solve the right triangle <br>round your answer to the nearest tenth.​
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Use SOH-CAH-TOA method and figure out which sign you need. SOH- Sin, CAH- Cos, TOA- Tan.

Also,

SOH- opposite/hypotenuse

CAH- adjacent/hypotenuse

TOA- opposite/adjacent

Look at the angle and see which terms you have already. For example, if you had opposite the angle and the adjacent side, you would choose tangent because its TOA. Hope that helps!
