A normal random variable X is given with a mean = 22 and a standard deviation o = 17. Give an approximate value of the z such that: Pr(X ≤ 1) = 0.375 Give approximate values of an z and y such that: Pr(y ≤X ≤1) = 0.431. NOTE: For this problem, both z AND y must be FINITE so you can't just take y to -00 and solve the problem akin to what you did in (a). Your strategy here should be to find z and y such that Pr(X ≤1) - Pr(X ≤y) gets as close to 0.431 as you want. Read the Z table and play with the arithmetic!
Suppose that average male weight in the US is 175 pounds with a standarddeviation of 25 pounds. Suppose you randomly select 1,000 male Americans and ask their weight, and average the 1,000 numbers to compute a sample mean Xn. A. What is the variance of the sample mean Xn? B. Use your answer to part (A), and Chebyshev’s inequality, to come up with a quantitative upper bound for the probability that sample mean Xn is more than a certain distance of 175
