Question

The percent of fat calories that a person in America consumes each day is normally distributed with a mean of about 35 and a standard deviation of 10. Suppose that one individual is randomly chosen. Let X=percent of fat calories. Round all answers to 4 decimal places if where possible

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

b. Find the probability that a randomly selected fat calorie percent is more than 31.

c. Find the minimum number for the lower quarter of percent of fat calories.

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.
