Suppose that one individual is randomly chosen. Let X = percent of fat calories. (a) Find the z-score corresponding to 43 percent of fat calories, rounded to 3 decimal places. (b) Find the probability that the percent of fat calories a person consumes is more than 43. (c) Shade the area corresponding to this probability in the graph below.

- Find the probability and interpret the results. If convenient, use technology to find the probability. The population mean annual salary for environmental compliance specialists is about $60,500. A random sample of 35 specialists is drawn from this population. What is the probability that the mean salary of the sample is less than $57,500? Assume o = $6,100. %3D The probability that the mean salary of the sample is less than $57,500 is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)arrow_forwardVerify whether the given table represents a probability distribution. In those cases where a probability distribution is described, find the mean and standard deviation. NOTE: The Rounding Rule for the mean and standard deviation: They should be rounded to one more decimal place than occurs in the raw data.
