Assume the random variable X is normally distributed with mean μ=50 and standard deviation σ=7.
Compute the probability. Be sure to draw a normal curve with the area corresponding to the probability shaded.
What is P(56 ≤ X ≤ 66) ?
Solution :
Given that ,
mean = = 50
standard deviation = = 7
= P[56 - 50( / 7) (x - ) / (66 - 50 / 7) ]
= P(0.8571 z 2.2857)
= P(z 2.2857) - P(z 0.8571)
= 0.9889 - 0.8043
= 0.1846
P(56 x 66) = 0.1846
