The probability that an srs of 100 freshmen has a mean unweighted gpa between 3.75 and 3.95 is 21.77%

Finding the probability of a mean unweighted gpa between 3.75 and 3.95.

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Mean = 3.81

Standard deviation = 0.36

Scores = 3.75 and 3.95

The z-score of these values can be calculated using

z = (Score - Mean)/SD

So, we have

z = (3.75 - 3.81)/0.36 and z = (3.95 - 3.81)/0.36

z = -0.167 and z = 0.389

So, the probability is represented as

P = (-0.167 < z < 0.389)

Using the z table of probabilities, we have

P = 0.2177

This gives

P = 21.77%

Hence, the probability is 21.77%

Question

The incoming freshman class at north carolina state university had a mean unweighted gpa of 3.81 with a standard deviation of 0.36. these gpas are normally distributed.

Find the probability that an srs of 100 freshmen has a mean unweighted gpa between 3.75 and 3.95.
