Math Problem Statement
A distribution of values is normal with a mean of 33.5 and a standard deviation of 75.5.
Find the probability that a randomly selected value is between 184.5 and 237.4. P(184.5 < X < 237.4) = 0.0208 Incorrect
Enter your answer as a number accurate to 4 decimal places. Answers obtained using exact z-scores or z-scores rounded to 3 decimal places are accepted.
Solution
To solve , we need to standardize the values using the Z-score formula:
Where:
- (mean)
- (standard deviation)
- is the value we're calculating the Z-score for.
Step 1: Compute Z-scores
For :
For :
Step 2: Find the probabilities using the standard normal distribution
Using a Z-table or a calculator:
Step 3: Calculate the probability
The probability that is between 184.5 and 237.4 is:
