Question

A report on thepoultrysite.com, stated that the weights of broilers are approximately normally distributed with mean 1387 grams and standard deviation 161 grams.

a. Find the 22nd percentile of the weights.

b. Find the 93rd percentile of the weights.

c. Find the first quartile of the weights

d. A chicken farmer wants to provide a money-back guarantee that his broilers will weigh at least a certain amount. What weight should he guarantee so that he will have to give his customers' money back only 1% of the time?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
