Using the Normal Distribution · Exercise 29
Suppose that the duration of a particular type of criminal trial is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 21 days and a standard deviation of seven days.
(a) In words, define the random variable X.
(b) X ~ _____(_____,_____)
(c) If one of the trials is randomly chosen, find the probability that it lasted at least 24 days. Sketch the graph and write the probability statement.
(d) Sixty percent of all trials of this type are completed within how many days?
