A particular data set can be approximately described as a normal distribution. the mean of the data set is 40 and one standard deviation is 5. about what percent of the numbers fall between 35 and 50? 53.2% 81.8% 68.2% 77.4%

Respuesta :

81.8% percent of the numbers fall between 35 and 50.

According to the question

Mean = [tex]\mu[/tex] = 40

Standard deviation = [tex]\sigma[/tex] = 5

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean  and standard deviation , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

Now we are supposed to find out what percent of the numbers fall between 35 and 50

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

Substitute the values

z = [tex]\frac{x-40}{5}[/tex]

Now for P(35<x<50)

Substitute x = 35

z = [tex]\frac{35-40}{5}[/tex]

z = -1

Substitute x = 50

z = [tex]\frac{50-40}{5}[/tex]

z = 2

So, P(-1<z<2)

P(z<2) - P(z<-1)

= 0.9772 - 0.1587

= 0.8185

= 0.818 × 100

= 81.8%

Hence,  81.8% percent of the numbers fall between 35 and 50.
