What is the normal distribution?
A continuous probability distribution for a real-valued random variable in statistics is known as a normal distribution or Gaussian distribution.
If x follows a normal distribution with mean μ and standard deviation σ then the distribution of
follows an approximately normal distribution with a mean
and standard deviation
let x be the height of blades of grass
x follows normal distribution with mean = μ = 4 and standard deviation = σ = 0.75.
Y = x1 + x2 +...........+x10
Distribution of Y is normal with,
Mean = and standard deviation
a)
P( Y < 42.5 )
Using normal distribution formmula,
=NORMDIST( x, mean, SD , 1 )
=NORMDIST(42.5, 40, 2.3717, 1 )
=0.8541
P( Y < 42.5 ) = 0.8541
b)
P( 39.5 < Y < 40.5 ) = P( Y < 40.5 ) - P( Y < 39.5 )
Using normal distribution formmula,
P( Y < 40.5 ) =NORMDIST(40.5, 40, 2.3717, 1 ) = 0.5835
P( Y < 39.5 ) = NORMDIST(39.5, 40, 2.3717, 1 ) = 0.4165
P( 39.5 < Y < 40.5 ) = 0.5835 - 0.4165 = 0.1670
P( 39.5 < Y < 40.5 ) = 0.1670
Hence, the final answer is:
a) P( Y < 42.5 ) = 0.8541
b) P( 39.5 < Y < 40.5 ) = 0.1670.
