Step 1
For x = 71: z = (71 - 82) / 4 = -2.75 For x = 80: z = (80 - 82) / 4 = -0.5 Show more…

If $x$ has a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma,$ find the mean of the random variable $z=(x-\mu) / \sigma$.
The random variable $\bar{x}$ has the following probability distribution: $$\begin{array}{l|ccccc}\hline \overline{\mathbf{x}} & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\\boldsymbol{P}(\bar{x}) & 0.6 & 0.1 & 0.1 & 0.1 & 0.1 \\\hline\end{array}$$ a. Find the mean and standard deviation of $(\bar{x}).$ b. What is the probability that $\bar{x}$ is between $\mu-\sigma$ and $\mu+\sigma ?$

Probability Distributions of a Discrete Random Variable
Assume that X has a normal distribution, and find the indicated probability. The mean is μ = 15.2 and the standard deviation is σ = 0.9. Find the probability that X is between -14.3 and -16.1. 2. Assume that X has a normal distribution, and find the indicated probability. The mean is μ = 137.0 and the standard deviation is σ = 5.3. Find the probability that X is between 134.4 and 140.1.
