Question

The annual per capita use of apples (in pounds) in the United States can be approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of 19.2 pounds and a standard deviation of 4 pounds. A) What annual per capita consumption represents the 10th percentile? B) What percentage of people in the United States consume more than 22 pounds of apples annually?

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.
