Question

Assume the petal length of a population of plants of species A is normally distributed with a mean of μ=3.5 cm and a standard deviation of σ=0.5 cm.

If you draw two plants from species A and find that both petal lengths are 5 cm long, would you be suspicious of the claim of a mean of 3.5 cm? Explain with a probability argument. (use formula to calculate first, then use SAS function to calculate the probabilities)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
