Suppose that the random variable X is normally distributed with
standard deviation sigma =4. If
the probability that X between 20 and the
mean mu is 0.3944,
(a) Find mu .
(b) What value of X is such that only %33 of the values are above
it?
(c) If a sample of size 16 is taken at random from the above
distribution, what is the probability that it has an average
greater than 26?
Let ,
(a) We have ,
...........(I)
From standard normal distribution table,
...............(II)
From (I) and (II) , we get ,
Therefore ,
(b) We have ,
...........(I)
From standard normal distribution table,
...............(II)
From (I) and (II) , we get ,
Therefore , x=16.76
(c) Now ,
Therefore , the probability that it has an average greater than 26 is approximately 0
