4. The mean daily production of a herd of cows is assumed to be normally distributed with a mean of 35 liters, and standard deviation of 8.4 liters. A) What is the probability that daily production is between 15.9 and 22.5 liters? Do not round until you get your your final answer. Answer= (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
Continuous Probability Distributions
Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could count from 0 to a trillion seconds, billion seconds, so on indefinitely. A discrete probability distribution consists of only a countable set of possible values.
Normal Distribution
Suppose we had to design a bathroom weighing scale, how would we decide what should be the range of the weighing machine? Would we take the highest recorded human weight in history and use that as the upper limit for our weighing scale? This may not be a great idea as the sensitivity of the scale would get reduced if the range is too large. At the same time, if we keep the upper limit too low, it may not be usable for a large percentage of the population!

Warning: Do not use the Z Normal Tables...they may not be accurate enough since WAMAP may look for more accuracy than comes from the table.
