Question

Fawns between 1 and 5 months old have a body weight that is approximately normally distributed with mean = 28.2 kilograms and standard deviation = 4.3 kilograms. Let x be the weight of a fawn in kilograms.

Convert the following x intervals to z intervals. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

(a)    x < 30
z < 1?

(b)    19 < x
? < z

(c)    32 < x < 35
? < z < ?


Convert the following z intervals to x intervals. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

(d)    2.17 < z
? < x

(e)    z < 1.28
x < ?

(f)    1.99 < z < 1.44
? < x < ?

Explanation / Answer

a) NORM.DIST(30,28.2,4.3,TRUE)=0.66

b) 19<x=19-28.2/4.3=-2.1395<z

c) 32<x<35=32-28.2/4.3<z<35-28.2/4.3=0.88<z<1.58

d) -2.17<z

-2.17=x-28.2/4.3

simplfying for x=18.9

e) z<1.28

1.28=x-28.2/4.3

x=33.7

f) -1.99<x<1.44

-1.99=x-28.2/4.3

x=19.6

1.44=x-28.2/4.3

x=34.4

19.6<x<34.4
