Question

Suppose that the duration of a particular type of criminal trial is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 22 days and a standard deviation of 5 days. Let X be the number of days for a randomly selected trial. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.

a. What is the distribution of X? X ~ N(,)

b. If one of the trials is randomly chosen, find the probability that it lasted at least 19 days.

c. If one of the trials is randomly chosen, find the probability that it lasted between 25 and 31 days.

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.
