The amount of snow fall falling in a certain mountain range is normally distributed with a mean of 74 inches, and a standard deviation of 12 inches. what is the probability that the mean annual snowfall during 36 randomly picked years will exceed 76.8 inches?

Respuesta :

Given that the sample mean is μ=74 and sample standard deviation σₓ=[tex] \frac{σ}{ \sqrt{n}} =\frac{12}{\sqrt{36}} =2 [/tex].

Thge Z- score is [tex] Z=\frac{76.8-74}{2} =1.4 [/tex].

Now we use the Z-score to calculate the required probability.

Refer to standard normal distribution table.

The required probability is

[tex] P(X>76.8) =P(Z>1.4)=1-P(Z<1.4)=0.0808[/tex]
