Question 933966: the length of pregnancies of humans are normally distributed with a mean of 169 days and a standard deviation of 17.5 days find the probability of a pregnancy lasting more than 310 days. Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! mean of 169 days and a standard deviation of 17.5
....
P( x > 310) = P( z > 141/17.5) = normalcdf(8.057, 100) = 3.9x10^(-16)
3.9x10^(-16)of Area to the right of z = 8.057 pretty much says it is NOT going to happen
........
For the normal distribution: Below: z = 0, z = ± 1, z= ±2 , z= ±3 are plotted.
Picture the area to the right of z = 8.057
Note: z = 0 (x value: the mean) 50% of the area under the curve is to the left and 50% to the right
