Using the Normal Distribution · Exercise 25
The percent of fat calories that a person in the United States consumes each day is normally distributed with a mean of about 36 and a standard deviation of 10. Suppose that one individual is randomly chosen. Let X = percentage of fat calories.
(a) X ~ _____ (_____, _____)
(b) Find the probability that the percentage of fat calories a person consumes is more than 40. Graph the situation. Shade in the area to be determined.
(c) Find the maximum number for the lower quarter of percent of fat calories. Sketch the graph and write the probability statement.
