are normally distributed with a mean of 27 ages 23 and 27?
with a standard deviation of 2.
15. What is the probability that a recruit is at
least 31 years old?
16. Approximately how many recruits are at
most 29 years old?
17. The daily balance of a checking account over 18. The length of a certain fish species is
the course of a month is normally distributed normally distributed with a mean of 15 cm. If a
with a standard deviation of $84.10. If the fish in this species is 18.8 cm with a z-score of
balance in the account on a particular day was 1.9, what is the standard deviation?
$317.34 with a z-score of -2.4, find the
mean balance.
