Question

A continuous random variable X has a normal distribution with mean 50.5. The probability that X takes a value greater than 54 is 0.21. Use this information and the symmetry of the density function to find the probability that X takes a value less than 47. Enter your answer as a number rounded to two decimal points, e.g. 0.29.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
