Question

The average rainfall, recorded to the nearest hundredths of a cm, in Roanoke, Virginia for the month of March is 8.22cm. Assuming a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 2.83 cm, find the probability that next march, Roanoke receives

a)less than 1.84 cm of rain

b)more than 5 cm but not over 7cm of rain

c)more than 13.8 cm of rain

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.
