The diameters of peaches in a certain orchard are normally distributed with a mean of 3.85 inches and a standard deviation of 0.42 inches. Show all work.
------------------------
(A) What percentage of the peaches in this orchard is larger than 3.79 inches?
z(3.79) = (3.79-3.85)/0.42 = -0.1429
P(x > 3.79) = P(z > -0.1429) = 0.5568
-----------------------------------------
(B) A random sample of 100 peaches is gathered and the mean diameter is calc
ulated. What is the probability that the sample mean is greater than 3.79 inches?
z(3.79) = (3.79-3.85)/[0.42/sqrt(100)] = -1.4286
P(x-bar > 3.79) = P(-1.4286,100) = 0.9234
