Question

The strength of concrete blocks follows a Normal distribution with mean 37 megapascals
(MPa) and standard deviation 16 MPa, i.e. X ∼ N(37, 16).


i. Use the output below to determine the probability that a randomly chosen block has strength higher than 40 MPa, i.e. P(X > 40)

pnorm(40, mean =
37, sd =
16)
[1] 0.5743657
pnorm(40, mean =
37, sd =
16, lower.tail = FALSE)
[1] 0.4256343
pnorm(16, mean =
37, sd
40)
[1] 0.2997916
pnorm(16, mean =
37, sd = 40, lower.tail = FALSE)
[1] 0.7002084
