A quick survey of peanut butter prices had standard deviation and mean of $0.26 and $3.68, respectively. Compute the area for a peanut butter jar costing more than $4.25.

Respuesta :

The area for a peanut butter jar costing more than $4.25 is 0.0143.

Z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean, The z score is given by:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\where\ x= raw\ score, \mu=mean, \sigma=standard\ deviation[/tex]

Given that μ = 3.68, σ = 0.26

For x > 4.25:

[tex]z=\frac{4.25-3.68}{0.26} =2.19[/tex]

From the normal distribution table, P(z > 2.19) = 1 - P(z < 2.19) = 1 - 0.9857 = 0.0143 = 1.43%

The area for a peanut butter jar costing more than $4.25 is 0.0143.
