A normal distribution has a mean of 186.4 and a standard deviation of 48.9. What percent of data will be greater than 235.3?

Respuesta :

Answer:

15.9% of the data will be greater than 235.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a calculator with statistical functions.  In this case you'll need the cumulative normal distribution:  normcdf(.

Evaluate the following:  normcdf(235.3, 10000,186.4, 48.9):

We get:  0.159, or 15.9%

15.9% of the data will be greater than 235.3.

The range of value X > 284.2 of data will be greater than 235.3.

What is a z-score?

A Z-Score is a statistical measurement of a score's relationship to the mean in a group of scores.

We know that the upper 2.5% of data would be 97.5% of data.

We will use a z-score formula to solve our given problem.

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

Where; z = z-score,

x = Random sample score,

[tex]\mu[/tex] = Mean,

[tex]\sigma[/tex] = Standard deviation.

We will use a normal distribution table to find a z-score corresponding to 97.5% area or 0.975.

We can see from the normal distribution table that the z-score corresponding to the area of 0.975 is 1.96.

[tex]\rm 1.96=\dfrac{x-186.4}{48.9}\\\\1.96 \times 48.9 =x-186.4\\\\x = 186.4 +95.84\\\\x=282.84[/tex]

Hence, the range of value X > 284.2 of data will be greater than 235.3.
