Textbook Question

Chapter 8, Problem 43CE

Over the past decade, the mean number of hacking attacks experienced by members of the Information Systems Security Association is 510 per year with a standard deviation of 14.28 attacks. The number of attacks per year is normally distributed. Suppose nothing in this environment changes.

a. What is the likelihood this group will suffer an average of more than 600 attacks in the next 10 years?
b. Compute the probability the mean number of attacks over the next 10 years is between 500 and 600.
c. What is the possibility they will experience an average of less than 500 attacks over the next 10 years?

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.
