Question 836479: College students average 8.7 hours of sleep per night with a standard deviation of 40 minutes. If the amount of sleep is normally distributed, what proportion of college students sleep for more than 9.6 hours? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! College students average 8.7 hours of sleep per night with a standard deviation of 40 minutes. If the amount of sleep is normally distributed, what proportion of college students sleep for more than 9.6 hours?
------------
z(9.6) = (9.6-8.7)/(2/3) = 1.35
-------
z(x > 9.6) = P(z > 1.35) = normalcdf(1.35,100) = 0.0885
