The annual precipitation amounts in a certain mountain range are normally distributed with a mean of 73 inches, and a standard deviation of 12 inches. What is the probability that the mean annual precipitation during 36 randomly picked years will be less than 75.8 inches?
Solution :
Given that,
mean = = 73
standard deviation = = 12
n = 36
= 73
= / n = 12/ 36=2
P( < 75.8) = P[( - ) / < (75.8-73) /2 ]
= P(z < 1.4)
Using z table
= 0.9192
probability= 0.9192
