Question
Based on the data,
the mean length of adult Etheostoma caeruleum in a
stream is 6.1 cm, and length distribution follows a nor-
mal distribution with a standard deviation of 0.8 cm.
What is the probability that the length of a randomly
selected adult will be 5.2 cm or larger?
(a) On the normal density curve to the right: put
numbers on the X-axis for the mean and 5.2 cm;
indicate the mean with an arrow; and shade in the
area under the curve that contributes to the prob-
ability that this question is asking for.
(b) Calculate the probability.
