A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 422 grams and a standard deviation of 35 grams. If you pick one fruit at random, what is the probability that it will weigh between 386 grams and 541 grams
Solution :
Given that ,
mean = = 422
standard deviation = = 35
n = 1
= 422
= / n= 35 / 1=35
P(386< <541 ) = P[(386-422) /35 < ( - ) / < (541-422) /35 )]
= P( -1.03< Z <3.4 )
= P(Z <3.4 ) - P(Z <-1.03 )
Using z table
=0.9997-0.1515
=0.8482
probability=0.8482
