Assume that x has a normal distribution with the specified mean and standard deviation. Find the indicated probability. (Enter a number. Round your answer to four decimal places.) μ = 24; σ = 4.2 P(x ≥ 30) = ?

Answer :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x is a random variable. Since we are assuming that x has a normal distribution, then we would apply the formula,

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 24

σ = 4.2

The indicated probability to be determined is P(x ≥ 30)

P(x ≥ 30) = 1 - P(x < 30)

For P(x < 30),

z = (30 - 24)/4.2 = 1.43

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.9236

Therefore,

P(x ≥ 30) = 1 - 0.9236 = 0.0764
