Answer to Problem 24PT4

If a particular Western gorilla is known to weigh 345 pounds approximately how much would a cappuccino monkey have to weigh to have the same standardized weight as of lowland gorilla is 7.93 pounds. Correct choice is (c).

Explanation of Solution

The standardized weight of gorilla is obtained by subtracting actual weight by mean weight and dividing result by standard deviation. Symbolically, The Practice of Statistics for AP - 4th Edition, Chapter 12, Problem 24PT4 , additional homework tip  1 where z is standardized weight and x is actual weight. Hence standardized weight of gorilla is The Practice of Statistics for AP - 4th Edition, Chapter 12, Problem 24PT4 , additional homework tip  2

For monkey to have a standard weight of 1.75,

Actual weight should be

z*1.1+6=1.75*1.1+6=7.925 Because X=z&*#963;+µ . Hence actual weight of monkey should be 7.925 pounds. When rounded it is 7.93 pounds.

Correct choice is (c).
