(a) The probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm is 0.119.

(b) The probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm is 0.119.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 5.0 millimeters (mm) and a standard deviation of 1.7 mm.

Let X = thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village.

So, X ~ Normal( $\mu=5.0,\sigma^{2} =1.7^{2}$ )

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean thickness = 5.0 mm

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 1.7 mm

(a) The probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm is given by = P(X < 3.0 mm)

P(X < 3.0 mm) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{3.0-5.0}{1.7}$ ) = P(Z < -1.18) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 1.18)

= 1 - 0.8810 = 0.119

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.18 in the z table which has an area of 0.881.

(b) The probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm is given by = P(X > 7.0 mm)

P(X > 7.0 mm) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ > $\frac{7.0-5.0}{1.7}$ ) = P(Z > 1.18) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 1.18)

= 1 - 0.8810 = 0.119

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.18 in the z table which has an area of 0.881.

(c) The probability that the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm is given by = P(3.0 mm < X < 7.0 mm) = P(X < 7.0 mm) - P(X $\leq$ 3.0 mm)

P(X < 7.0 mm) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{7.0-5.0}{1.7}$ ) = P(Z < 1.18) = 0.881

P(X $\leq$ 3.0 mm) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{3.0-5.0}{1.7}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -1.18) = 1 - P(Z < 1.18)

= 1 - 0.8810 = 0.119

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.18 in the z table which has an area of 0.881.

Therefore, P(3.0 mm < X < 7.0 mm) = 0.881 - 0.119 = 0.762.
