Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
mean = 55.9, standard deviation = 1.1
P(53.25<x<55.15)= ?
find the z scores for the endpoints
z = (x-mean)/s
z for 53.25 = (53.25-55.9)/1.1 = - 2.65/1.1 = about -2.4091
z for 55.15 = (55.15-55.9)/1.1 = -.75/1.1 = -75/110 = - 25/22 = about - .6818
find the corresponding areas under the curve from z crit to z=0 for each of the two above, then subtract their areas. use a z calculator or z tables
Areas =
.49361 - .25232
= .23929
= 23.929% of the randomly chosen 10 year old children, in Landia, will be between 55.15 and 53.25 inches
if your tables or calculator don't give more decimal places, as in the above calculations, then the final answer may be off by + or - .001% 23.929% is most likely, next best choices are 23.928 or 23.930%
