If you have X~N (80,10) A) Calculate P(X>95) B) P(85≤X≤90) ROUND TO 4 DECIMAL PLACES
Solution :
Given that ,
mean = = 80
standard deviation = = 10
(A)
P(x > 95) = 1 - P(x < 95)
= 1 - P((x - ) / < (95 - 80) / 10)
= 1 - P(z < 1.5)
= 1 - 0.9332
= 0.0668
Probability = 0.0668
(B)
P(85 X 90) = P((85 - 80 / 10) (x - ) / (90 - 80 / 10) )
= P(0.5 z 1)
= P(z 1) - P(z 0.5)
= 0.8413 - 0.6915
= 0.1498
Probability = 0.1498
