The annual precipitation amounts in a certain mountain range are normally distributed with a mean of 107 Inches, and a standard deviation of 12 inches. What is the probability that the mean

annual precipitation during 36 randomly picked years will be less than 109.8 inches?

step 1

Find out the z-score

Z score =(x - μ)/σ

we have

x=109.8 in

μ=107 in

σ=12 in

substitute

z score=(109.8-107)/12

z-score=0.2333

Find out the probability

using the tables of z-score

P=0.5922

therefore

the answer is 0.5808
