mean is 3.2 cups per day and standard deviation is 0.8 cups
:
a. z-score(2) = (2 - 3.2)/0.8 = -1.5
:
probability(P) associated with a z-score of -1.5 is 0.0668
:
P (men who drink more than 2 cups per day) = 1 - 0.0668 = 0.9332 is approximately 0.93
:
Proportion of men who drink more than 2 cups daily is 93/100
:
b. z-score(4) = (4 - 3.2)/0.8 = 1.0
:
P associated with a z-score of 1.0 is 0.8413 is approximately 0.84
:
Proportion of men who drink less than 4 cups a day = 84/100 = 21/25
:
c. In the table of z-values, a z-score associated with a P of 0.95 is 1.64
:
(X - 3.2)/0.8 = 1.64
:
X - 3.2 = 1.64 * 0.8 = 1.312
:
X = 4.512 is approximately 5
:
Minimum number of cups consumed by a heavy coffee drinker is 5 cups
:
