The mean of a normal distribution is 400 kilos, and the standard deviation is 10 kilos. What is the probability of a weight between 420 kilos and the mean of 400 kilos?

A. 0.1932
B. 0.4772
C. 0.4332
D. 0.5000

Answer :

Second option is correct 0.04772.

The probability of a weight between 420 kilos and the mean of 400

kilos = 0.4772

Mean of a normal probability distribution is μ = 400 kilos

And standard deviation σ = 10 kilos

Let x be the variable in kilos.

X is between 400 kilos and 420 kilos

P( 400 < X < 420 ) = P ( 400 - μ < X - μ < 420 - μ)

= P ( (400-μ)/σ < (X-μ)/σ < (420-μ)/σ )

= P ( (400 - 400) /10 < Z < (420 - 400)/10 )

= P ( 0 < Z < 2 )

= 0.4777 from the table appendix B1.
