days and a standard deviation of 1.7 days. Let X be the recovery time for a randomly selected patient.
Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.
a. What is the distribution of X? X - N( 4
1.7
b. What is the median recovery time? 4
days
c. What is the Z-score for a patient that took 5.4 days to recover? 0.8235
d. What is the probability of spending more than 4.4 days in recovery?
