Question 1178449: Assume the mean annual consumption of peanuts is normally distributed, with a mean of 5.8 pounds per person and a standard deviation of 1.6 pounds per person. What percent of people annually consume less than 2.9 pounds of peanuts per person? Would it be unusual for a person to consume less than 2.9 pounds of peanuts in a year? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi
normally distributed, μ = 5.8 pounds per person and σ = 1.6 pounds per person
P(x = 2.9)
z = (2.9-5.8)/1.6 = -1.8125
P(z ≤ -1.8125) = .035 0r 3.5%
Yes, unusual for a person to consume less than 2.9 pounds of peanuts in a year
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
