The weights of fish in a certain lake are normally distributed with a mean of 19 lbs. and a standard deviation of 6 lbs. If a fish is randomly selected, find the probability that the mean weight will be between 16.6 lbs. and 26.5 lbs.

Step 1
The problem states that the weights of fish in a lake are normally distributed with a mean (μ) of 19 lbs and a standard deviation (σ) of 6 lbs. We need to find the probability that the mean weight of a randomly selected fish is between 16.6 lbs and 26.5 lbs. Show more…

The weights of the fish in a certain lake are normally distributed with a mean of 6.1 lb and a standard deviation of 2.1 lb. If 50 fish are randomly selected, what is the probability that the mean weight will be more than 5.8 lb?

The weights of the fish in a certain lake are normally distributed with a mean of 25 lbs and a standard deviation of 10 lbs. If 16 fish are randomly selected, what is the probability that the mean weight will be between 20.5 and 26.6 lbs? Round to the 4 decimal places.
