Question

A study has shown that the daily amount of milk produced by a dairy cow is normally distributed, with a mean of 6.2 gallons and a standard deviation of 0.7 gallons. On a given day, 99.7% of the cows will produce an amount of milk within which of the following ranges?

Answer 1

Answer: 4.1 gallons to 8.3 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

just took the quiz

Answer 2

Answer:

5.5 gallons to 6.9 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Daily a cow

produces a mean of 6.2 gallons (average

of 6.2 gallons, meaning they already

found the mean, "averaged" it out for

you) with a deviation of 7 gallons ("give

or take" .7 gallons). On any given day

(throw these words out) 68% of the cows

(don't need this information to answer

the question either, thrown in to confuse

you) will produce an amount of milk

within which of the following ranges?

Just subtract the deviation ("give or

take number").7 gallons from the mean

(average (already determined)) 6.2

gallons which is 5.5 gallons THEN add

the deviation ("give or take number").

7 gallons to the mean (average (already

determined)) 6.2 gallons which is 6.9

gallons. Your answer is A 5.5 gallons to

6.9 gallons. You don't even have to go

crazy on the math on this question you

can rule them all out but A immediately

with subtracting .7 from 6.2.

hope it helps!
