Question
The mean weight of students at a certain college follows a normal distribution with a mean of 80kg and a standard deviation of 15kg. a. What is the probability that a randomly selected student weighs more than 50kg? (Give your answer to 4 decimal places.) Blank 1b. Find the value c such that P (|X - 80| < c) = 0.95. Blank 2
Solution
a. Para encontrar la probabilidad de que un estudiante seleccionado al azar pese más de 50 kg, utilizamos la distribución normal estándar (Z). Primero, convertimos el peso a una puntuación Z.
La fórmula para la puntuación Z es:
Donde:
- es el valor de interés (50 kg en este caso).
- es la media (80 kg).
- es la desviación estándar (15 kg).
Ahora, buscamos la probabilidad de que Z sea mayor que -2. Utilizamos una tabla de la distribución normal estándar o una calculadora para encontrar esta probabilidad.
La probabilidad de que Z sea menor que -2 es aproximadamente 0.0228. Por lo tanto, la probabilidad de que Z sea mayor que -2 es:
Entonces, la probabilidad de que un estudiante pese más de 50 kg es aproximadamente 0.9772.
b. Para encontrar el valor tal que , primero entendemos que es equivalente a .
Esto significa que queremos encontrar el valor de tal que la probabilidad de que esté dentro de sea 0.95. En términos de la distribución normal estándar, esto se traduce a encontrar el valor de tal que .
Sabemos que para una distribución normal estándar, corresponde aproximadamente a (esto se puede encontrar en una tabla de la distribución normal estándar).
Ahora, convertimos esta puntuación Z de vuelta a la escala original usando la fórmula inversa:
Donde:
Por lo tanto, el valor de tal que es 29.4.
