Question

The time it takes a person to recover from a cold is normally distributed with a mean of 9.7 days and a standard deviation of 0.8 days.

    1. Suppose an individual with a cold is randomly selected. What is the probability that they recover within 9.3 days?
        • What distribution will you use to calculate this probability?
          N(__,__)

        • List the z-scores needed to calculate the result. If there is more than one z-score, separate the values with a comma.

      • There is a ____ chance that the individual recovers within 9.3 days.



  1. Suppose 30 individuals with colds are randomly selected. What is the probability that, on average, they recover within 9.3 days?
      • What distribution will you use to calculate this probability?
        N(__,__)

      • List the z-scores needed to calculate the result. If there is more than one z-score, separate the values with a comma.

    • There is a ___ chance that the 30 individuals with recover within an average of 9.3 days.
