The total probability must be 1.0
Add the probabilities and solve for n.
n=0.25
Mean or average value, use n=0.25 value.
Variance.
B.A random variable X follows a Normal probability distribution and has a mean value of m=25 and a variance of Var=9. Calculate:
Standard deviation = .
i.P(X < 21):
ii.P(X > 26)
iii.P( 23 < X < 28):
