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

Solutions

Expert Solution

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
