Question
The distribution of weights of male Adelie penguins on Torgersen Island is assumed to be normal with a population
The bottom 1 percent of the weight distribution of male penguins are identified as chicks.
-
What is the most that a male penguin can weigh to be considered a chick?
- Given that a male penguin is a chick, what is the
probability that it weighs less than 3000 grams?
