Question

To qualify for the RCMP, recruits are tested for stress tolerance. The scores are normally distributed with mean µ= 64 and standard deviation = 9 a) Find the probability that a randomly chosen recruit will have a stress tolerance score between 60 and 80. b) If only the top 45% of the recruits are to be chosen to continue the RCMP training, find the minimum score a recruit would need to continue the RCMP training. c) Find the probability that the mean stress tolerance score for a random sample of 36 of these recruits is less than 59.

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.
