![**Understanding Statistical Distribution for Child Age Calculation**
This lesson will explore essential concepts related to statistical distribution, particularly focusing on a data set examining children's ages. Follow along as we break down each part of the question and solve it using statistical methods.
---
### a. Mean Calculation
**The mean of this distribution is:**
\[ \boxed{5.335} \]
---
### b. Standard Deviation Calculation
**The standard deviation is:**
\[ \boxed{0.2627} \]
---
### c. Probability Calculation Over a Threshold
**The probability that the child will be older than 5 years old is:**
\[ \boxed{0.8681} \]
Here, the probability value indicates the likelihood that a child from this distribution will exceed the age of 5 years.
---
### d. Probability Calculation Between Two Values
**The probability that the child will be between 5.28 and 5.58 years old is:**
\[ \boxed{} \]
[This space is left for students to calculate based on their understanding.]
---
### e. Percentile Calculation for Child's Age
**If such a child is at the 58th percentile, how old is that child?**
\[ \boxed{} \text{ years old} \]
[This space is also left for students to determine the age by applying the percentile rank formula.]
