Wildlife: Deer Let x be a random variable that represents the weights in kilograms (kg) of healthy adult female deer (does) in December in Mesa Verde National Park. Then x has a distribution that is approximately normal, with mean
(a) What is the probability that a single doe captured (weighed and released) at random in December is undernourished?
(b) If the park has about 2200 does, what number do you expect to be undernourished in December?
(c) Interpretation To estimate the health of the December doe population, park rangers use the rule that the average weight of n = 50 does should be more than 60 kg. If the average weight is less than 60 kg. it is thought that the entire population of does might be undernourished. What is the probability that the average weight
(d) Interpretation Compute the probability that
