2.1 We will use the standard normal distribution (Z) to calculate the probabilities. First, we need to standardize the values by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation. Show more…

A weather forecaster predicts that the May rainfall in a local area will be between 1 and 6 inches but has no idea where within the interval the amount will be. Let x be the amount of May rainfall in the local area, and assume that x is uniformly distributed over the interval 1 to 6 inches. (a) Calculate the expected May rainfall. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) inches (b) What is the probability that the observed May rainfall will fall within two standard deviations of the mean? Within one standard deviation of the mean? (Round all intermediate and final answers to 4 decimal places.) Probability of May rainfall will fall within two SD Probability of May rainfall will fall within one SD
