Answer:
P(1833 < X < 1975) = 7.55%
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information:
Let X be the random variable that obeys a normal distribution and which represents the monthly electric consumption during winter by all households in the Boston area.
X [tex]\sim[/tex] N ( μ = 1650 , σ² = 320² )
The probability that a monthly consumption of 1883 to 1975 kilowatt is given as:
[tex]P(1883 < X< 1975) = P( \dfrac{1883 -1650}{320} < Z< \dfrac{1975-1650}{320})[/tex]
[tex]P(1883 <X< 1975) = P( \dfrac{233}{320} < Z< \dfrac{325}{320})[/tex]
[tex]P(1883 < X<1975) = P( 0.728 < Z< 1.0156)[/tex]
P(1833 < X < 1975) = P(Z< 1.0156) - P(Z< 0.738)
P(1833 < X < 1975) = 0.8452 - 0.7697
P(1833 < X < 1975) = 0.0755
P(1833 < X < 1975) = 7.55%
