Question

Weights (X) of men in a certain age group have a normal distribution with mean ? = 190 pounds and standard deviation ? = 24 pounds. Find each of the following probabilities. (Round all answers to four decimal places.)

(a) P(X ≤ 208) = probability the weight of a randomly selected man is less than or equal to 208 pounds.

(b) P(X ≤ 166) = probability the weight of a randomly selected man is less than or equal to 166 pounds.

(c) P(X > 166) = probability the weight of a randomly selected man is more than 166 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.
