TopicNormal Distribution
TypeDirect binomial from normal probability

3 The random variable \(X\) represents the weight in kg of a randomly selected male dog of a particular breed. \(X\) is Normally distributed with mean 30.7 and standard deviation 3.5.
  1. Find
    (A) \(\mathrm { P } ( X < 30 )\),
    (B) \(P ( 25 < X < 35 )\).
  2. Five of these dogs are chosen at random. Find the probability that each of them weighs at least 30 kg .
  3. The weights of females of the same breed of dog are Normally distributed with mean 26.8 kg . Given that \(5 \%\) of female dogs of this breed weigh more than 30 kg , find the standard deviation of their weights.
  4. Sketch the distributions of the weights of male and female dogs of this breed on a single diagram.
