The ages of adults in a certain community follow a normal distribution with mean 38 and standard deviation 6. The random variable x represents the age of a randomly-selected adult from this community. Given that P(32 < x < a) = .0590, what is the value of a?

a = 33.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

P(32 < x < a) = .0590

This is the pvalue of Z when X = a subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 32.

X = 32

has a pvalue of 0.1587

X = a

p - 0.1587 = 0.0590

p = 0.0590 + 0.1587

p = 0.2177

So when X = a, Z has a pvalue of 0.2177. So when X = a, Z = -0.78.

So a = 33.32

step-by-step explanation:

median is the value separating the higher half of a data sample, a population or probablity distribution from the lower half.

step-by-step explanation:

say you have 3,8,7,3,1,9,8 order them from lowest to highest

if orderd it would be 1,3,3,7,8,8,9 now you take away from the lowest and the highest until you end up in the middle.

so you would remove the 1 and 9 leaving you with 5 digits remaining

when you've reached the middle that would be your answer so in this case the answer is 7

if there were two numbers left say 7 and 5 you'd and them together so 12 then divide by 2 witch would equal 6 so the answer would be 6

good luck on that project hoped i you at all
