Question

The common fruit fly is the most studied organism in genetic research because it is small, easy to grow, and reproduces rapidly. The length of the thorax (where the wings and legs attach) in a population of male fruit flies is Normally distributed with mean μ= 0.800 mm and standard deviation \sigma σ= 0.078 mm.

What proportion of flies have thorax length less than 0.7 mm?

What proportion of flies have thorax length greater than 1.0 mm?

What proportion of flies have thorax length between 0.7 mm and 1.0 mm?

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.
