Question

The amount of calories consumed by customers at the Chinese buffet is normally distributed with mean 2696 and standard deviation 675. One randomly selected customer is observed to see how many calories X that customer consumes. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.

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.

Step 1

Hey, since there are multiple subparts posted, we will answer first three subparts. If you want any specific subpart to be answered then please submit that subpart only or specify the subpart in your message.

Given:

$μ = 2696 σ = 675$

a) The distribution of X is X~N $(μ, σ^{2})$ .

Answer:

Thus, the distribution of X is X~N $(2696, 675^{2})$ .
