Answer:
The z-score of a male bird of this species with a weight of 29.37 grams is 1.7.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the weights of adult male birds of a certain species are normally distributed with a mean of 27.5 grams and a standard deviation of 1.1 grams.
<u><em>Let X = weights of adult male birds of a certain species</em></u>
So, X ~ Normal()
The z score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;
Z = ~ N(0,1)
where, = population mean weight = 27.5 grams
= standard deviation = 1.1 grams
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.
SO, the z-score of a male bird of this species with a weight of 29.37 grams is given by;
<u>Z score</u> = =
= <u>1.7</u>
