Question

assume that the variable under consideration has a density curve. it is given that 27.1% of all possible observations of the variable are less than 17. Determine the area under the density curve that lies to the right of 17.​

Answer 1

72.9%

Explanation:

Given that :

27.1% of all possible observation of a certain variable are less than 17 ;

That is ;

Let variable = y ;

Proportion of (y < 17) = 27.1% = (27.1 / 100) = 0.271

Proportion that lies to the right :

P(y > 17) = 1 - P(y < 17)

P(y > 17) = 1 - 0.271

P(y > 17) = 0.729 = 72.9%
