Question

Assume a member is selected at random from the population represented by the graph. Find the probability that the member selected at random is from the shaded area of the graph. Assume the variable x is normally distributed.

200<x<450

mean:510

standard deviation: 119

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.
