The weights of cars passing over a bridge have a mean of 3,550 pounds and standard deviation of 870 pounds. Assume that the weights of the cars passing over the bridge are normally distributed. Use a calculator to find the probability that the weight of a randomly-selected car passing over the bridge is less than 3,000 pounds.

0.24315

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the z score formula to solve this question

z = (x - μ) / σ,

Such that:

x = raw score

μ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation.

From the question:

x = 3000

μ = 3550

σ = 870

z = (3000 - 3550) / 870

z = -550/870

z = -0.6962

Using the z score table as well as probability calculator(as requested in the question to find the z score)

The probability of having less than 3000 is obtained as:

P(x<3000) = 0.24315
