- Let x be a random variable that represents the weights in kilograms (kg) of healthy adult female deer (does) in December in a national park. Then x has a distribution that is approximately normal with mean ? = 70.0 kg and standard deviation ? = 7.6 kg. Suppose a doe that weighs less than 61 kg is considered undernourished. (c) To estimate the health of the December doe population, park rangers use the rule that the average weight of n = 45 does should be more than 67 kg. If the average weight is less than 67 kg, it is thought that the entire population of does might be undernourished. What is the probability that the average weight x for a random sample of 45 does is less than 67 kg (assuming a healthy population)?

- Let x be a random variable that represents the weights in kilograms (kg) of healthy adult female deer (does) in December in a national park. Then x has a distribution that is approximately normal with mean ? = 62.0 kg and standard deviation ? = 9.0 kg. Suppose a doe that weighs less than 53 kg is considered undernourished. (c) To estimate the health of the December doe population, park rangers use the rule that the average weight of n = 70 does should be more than 59 kg. If the average weight is less than 59 kg, it is thought that the entire population of does might be undernourished. What is the probability that the average weight x for a random sample of 70 does is less than 59 kg (assuming a healthy population)? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
