Question

On the planet of Mercury, 4-year-olds average 3 hours a day unsupervised. Most of the unsupervised children live in rural areas, considered safe. Suppose that the standard deviation is 1.3 hours and the amount of time spent alone is normally distributed. We randomly survey one Mercurian 4-year-old living in a rural area. We are interested in the amount of time X the child spends alone per day. (Source: San Jose Mercury News) Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.

b. Find the probability that the child spends less than 2.1 hours per day unsupervised.

c. What percent of the children spend over 3.6 hours per day unsupervised. % (Round to 2 decimal places)

d. 85% of all children spend at least how many hours per day unsupervised? hours.

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.
