If the distribution is really (5.43,0.54)
, what proportion of observations would be less than 5.79?
(Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.)

0.7486 = 74.86% observations would be less than 5.79

Step-by-step explanation:

I suppose there was a small typing mistake, so i am going to use the distribution as N (5.43,0.54)

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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.

The general format of the normal distribution is:

N(mean, standard deviation)

Which means that:

What proportion of observations would be less than 5.79?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 5.79. So

has a pvalue of 0.7486

0.7486 = 74.86% observations would be less than 5.79

the functions have the same rate of change i think. i narrowed it down to this answer and "the rate of change of tour 1 is greater" but i got it wrong using that answer so im assuming its the answer above. (this is a question i also answered from the iready site if anyone needs a reference)
