Question

Suppose a geyser has a mean time between eruptions of 84 minutes. Let the interval of time between the eruptions be normally distributed with standard deviation 27 minutes. Complete parts (a) through (e) below.

(a) The probability that a randomly selected time interval is longer than 95 minutes is approximately

(Round to four decimal places as needed.)

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.
