Homework Answers
Answer #1
Z is the standard normal variable
The weight of competition pumpkins are normal distribution with a mean of 703 pounds and a standard deviation of 347 pounds
= 703 (mean)
= 347 (standard deviation)
A.
Z-score for 1000 pounds = 
we get the value of 
from z table
Answer: The probability that a randomly selected pumpkin weighs at least 1000 pounds is 0.1949
B.
Z-score for 750 pounds = 
we get the value of 
from z table
Answer: The probability that a randomly selected pumpkin weighs less than 750 pounds is 0.5557
C.
Z-score for 500 pounds = 
Z-score for 900 pounds = 
we get the value of 
and 
from z table
Answer: The probability that a randomly selected pumpkin weighs between 500 and 900 pounds is 0.4381
D.
n = 10 (sample size)
The average weight of competition pumpkins follows normal
distribution with a mean of 703 pounds and a standard deviation
of 
pounds
= 703 (mean)
is the standard deviation of the sample
Z-score for 650 pounds = 
we get the value of 
from z table
Answer: The probability that the average weight of a randomly selected sample of 10 pumpkins is less than 650 pounds is 0.3156
