Suppose that the walking step lengths of adults are normally distributed with a mean of 2.4 feet and a standard deviation of 0.3 feet. A sample of 34 step lengths is taken. Find the probability that the mean of the sample taken is more than 2.5 feet. Your answer should be from the cumulative normal distribution table.

Question

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.
