Question 1160785: Medical research has concluded that people experience a
common cold roughly two times per year. Assume that the
time between colds is normally distributed with a mean of
160 days and a standard deviation of 40 days.
(a) What is the probability of going 200 or more days between
colds? Of going 365 days?
(b) What is the probability of getting a cold within 80 days of a
previous cold? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Compute the -score for each of your situations and then look up the probability of each of the -scores in a table or use Excel or a statistics calculator.
