Answer:
a) Attachment
b) 6 to 14.8 in
c) 2.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- The mean is u = 10.4 in
- The standard deviation s.d = 4.4
- Sample size n = 28
Find:
- Choose the correct Normal model for tree diameters. A. B. C.
- What size would you expect the central 68% of all tree diameters to be?Using the 68-95-99.7 rule, the central 68% of the tree diameters are between ____ inches and _____ inches.
- About what percent of the trees should have diameters below 1.6 inches?
Solution:
- The central 68% lies within two s.d from mean.
10.4 + 1*4.4 = 14.8
10.4 - 1*4.4 = 6
Hence, the central 68% are between 6 and 14.8 inches.
- The central 95% lies within two s.d from mean.
10.4 + 2*4.4 = 19.2
10.4 - 2*4.4 = 1.6
- The central 95% are between 1.6 and 19.2 inches.
- Hence, P ( X < 1.6) = (1 - 0.95)/2 = 0.025 or 2.5%
