[Q11] The mean weight of 500 female students at a certain college is 152 lb. And the standard deviation is 20 lb. Assume that the weights are normally distributed.

How many students weigh between 120 and 155 lb?
What is the probability that a randomly selected female student weighs less than 128 pounds?

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.
