The total snowfall per year in Laytonville is normally distributed with mean 99 inches and standard deviation 14 inches. Based on the Empirical Rule, what is the probability that in a randomly selected year, the snowfall was less than 127 inches

Respuesta :

Answer: Required probability is 0.9772.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean = 99 inches

Standard deviation = 14 inches

It is normally distributed.

We need to find the probability that in a randomly selected year, the snowfall was less than 127 inches.

As we know that

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

So, it becomes,

[tex]P(X<127)\\\\=P(z<\dfrac{127-99}{14})\\\\=P(z<2)\\\\=0.9772[/tex]

Hence, required probability is 0.9772.
