The weights of newborn elephants are normally distributed with a mean of 225 pounds and a standard deviation of 45 pounds. a) Find the probability that a newborn elephant weighs between 250 and 275 pounds. You must show your work using a calculator function to receive credit. b) Find the probability that a newborn elephant weighs more than 210 pounds. You must show your work using a calculator function to receive credit.

a)

The probability that a newborn elephant weighs between 250 and 275 pounds

P(250≤ x ≤275) = 0.1577

b)

The probability that a newborn elephant weighs more than 210 pounds

P(x >210 ) = 0.6293

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given mean of the Population = 225

Given standard deviation of the population = 45

Let 'X' be the random variable in normal distribution

Let x₁ = 250

Let x₂ = 275

The probability that a newborn elephant weighs between 250 and 275 pounds

P(250≤ x ≤275) =P(0.55≤ Z≤1.11)

                        = P(Z≤1.11) - P(Z≤0.55)

                       = 0.5 + A( 1.11) - ( 0.5 + A(0.55)

                       =  A(1.11) - A(0.55)

                       = 0.3665 - 0.2088

                       = 0.1577

Step(ii):-

The probability that a newborn elephant weighs between 250 and 275 pounds

P(250≤ x ≤275) = 0.1577

b)

Let x = 210

The probability that a newborn elephant weighs more than 210 pounds

P(x >210 ) = P( Z> -0.33)

                = 1- P( Z < -0.33)

               = 1 - ( 0.5 - A(-0.33))    

               = 0.5 + A( -0.33)

              = 0.5 +  A(0.33)                  (∵ A(-0.33) = A(0.33)  

             = 0.5 + 0.1293  

            = 0.6293

Final -

The probability that a newborn elephant weighs more than 210 pounds

P(x >210 ) = 0.6293

step-by-step explanation:

one of the most important purposes of surface treatment is to alter surface properties according to the requirement of specific applications. for example, hydrophobic coating has been utilized on windshield and eyeglasses. gold atom monolayer on substrate has become a popular surface bioconjugation strategy.
