The weights of broilers (commercially raised chickens) are approximately normally distributed with mean 1387 grams and standard deviation 161 grams. What is the probability that a randomly selected broiler weighs more than 1,425 grams?

Respuesta :

Answer:  0.3936

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mean : [tex]\mu =1387 \text{ grams}[/tex]

Standard deviation : [tex]\sigma = 161 \text{ grams}[/tex]

The formula to calculate z is given by :-

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

For x= 1,425 grams

[tex]z=\dfrac{1425-1387}{161}=0.23602484472\approx0.27[/tex]

The P Value =[tex]P(X>1425)=P(z>0.27)=1-0.6064198=0.3935802\approx0.3936[/tex]

Hence, the  probability that a randomly selected broiler weighs more than 1,425 grams =0.3936
