Adult panda weights are normally distributed with a mean of 200 pounds and a standard deviation of 50 pounds. The largest pandas weigh over 250 pounds. Using the empirical rule, approximately what percent of the adult pandas weigh over 250 pounds?
16%
32%
47.5%
95%

Answer:

16%

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mean : [tex]\mu = 200\text{ pounds}[/tex]

Standard deviation : [tex]\sigma=50\text{ pounds}[/tex]

The formula for z score is given by :-

[tex]z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Now, for x=250

[tex]z=\dfrac{250-200}{50}=1[/tex]

The P-value [tex]= P(z>1)=1-P(z<1)[/tex]

[tex]=1-0.8413=0.1587\approx16\%[/tex]

Hence, the percent of the adult pandas weigh over 250 pounds is about 16%.
