A normal distribution has a mean of 36 and a standard deviation of 8.
Calculate the probability that an element selected from the population is:
a. < 25
z(25) = (25-36)/8 = -1/8
P(x < 25) = P(z < 1/8) = normalcdf(-100,-1/8) = 0.4503
------------------------------------
b. > 33
z(33) = (33-36)/8 = -3/8
P(x > 33) = P(z > -3/8) = 0.6462
------------------------------------
c. Between 22 and 35
z(22) = (22-36)/8 = -12/8 = -1.5
z(35) = (35-36)/8 = -1/8
------
P(22 < x < 35) = P(-1.5 < z < -1/8) = normalcdf(-1.5,-1/8)= 0.3835
-------------------------------------
Can you handle the rest?
Cheers,
Stan H.
