Math Problem Statement

p(x>240)<0.01

Solution

You are likely referring to a problem involving the probability of a random variable XX being greater than 240, where this probability is less than 0.01:

P(X>240)<0.01P(X > 240) < 0.01

To solve or interpret this, I would need more information about the distribution of XX. For example, is XX normally distributed, and what are its mean μ\mu and standard deviation σ\sigma? If XX follows a normal distribution, we could find the value of XX that satisfies the condition using the z-score formula:

Z=XμσZ = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Please provide the distribution details or any relevant data, and I can help further.

Do you want more details or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions you might consider:

  1. What is the distribution of XX in this problem?
  2. Do you know the mean and standard deviation of XX?
  3. Is this a one-tailed or two-tailed probability problem?
  4. Are you interested in solving for a critical value or threshold?
  5. How does this probability fit into a larger statistical problem you're working on?

Tip: In probability problems, specifying the distribution is key to applying the correct formulas. Always look for whether the problem mentions a normal, binomial, or other type of distribution.
