Question

Using diaries for many weeks, a study on the lifestyles of visually impaired students was conducted. The students kept track of many lifestyle variables including how many hours of sleep obtained on a typical day. Researchers found that visually impaired students averaged 8.17 hours of sleep, with a standard deviation of 1.29 hours. Assume that the number of hours of sleep for these visually impaired students is normally distributed.

(a) What is the probability that a visually impaired student gets less than 6.6 hours of sleep?

(b) What is the probability that a visually impaired student gets between 6.4 and 9.53 hours of sleep?

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.
