A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 275 grams and a standard deviation of 19 grams. If you pick one fruit at random, what is the probability that it will weigh between 244 grams and 305 grams?

0.8913 = 89.13% probability that it will weigh between 244 grams and 305 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 275 grams and a standard deviation of 19 grams

This means that

What is the probability that it will weigh between 244 grams and 305 grams?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 305 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 244.

X = 305

has a p-value of 0.9429.

X = 244

has a p-value of 0.0516

0.9429 - 0.0516 = 0.8913

0.8913 = 89.13% probability that it will weigh between 244 grams and 305 grams.

chad should not have included the values (1, 2) and (3, 6) because that would mean he only had half a healing card.
