Suppose that the duration of a particular type of criminal trial is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 17 days and a standard deviation of 4 days. Let X be the number of days for a randomly selected trial. If one of the trials is randomly chosen, find the probability that it lasted between 19 and 24 days.

Step 1
- Mean, \(\mu = 17\) days - Standard deviation, \(\sigma = 4\) days - We want to find \(P(19 < X < 24)\), where \(X\) is normally distributed. Show more…

Suppose that the duration of a particular type of criminal trial is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 21 days and a standard deviation of 4 days. Let X be the number of days for a randomly selected trial. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. What is the distribution of X? X ~ N( b. If one of the trials is randomly chosen, find the probability that it lasted at least 23 days. c. If one of the trials is randomly chosen, find the probability that it lasted between 23 and 26 days. d. 89% of all of these types of trials are completed within how many days?
