@jim_thompson5910 think u can help with this last question of mine?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

remember wolfram?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah i tried that but i couldn't figure out how to use it. & mathway wasn't letting me do it.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok the basic format again is normalcdf(a,b,mu,sigma)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

where [a,b] is your interval mu = mean sigma = standard deviation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i get what mu & sigma mean but my problem was i was i couldn't figure out how to get the standard deviation cause idk what n is.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well in this case, the standard deviation is sigma you don't use the formula sigma/sqrt(n)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

because you're not looking at the xbar distribution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but a & b are 54 & 69, & the mean is 50?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep a = 54 b = 69 mu = 50 sigma = 7

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

normalcdf(a,b,mu,sigma) becomes normalcdf(54,69,50,7)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

type that in and look at the last row in the "probabilities" section

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer would be 0.2805?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THANK U! u really are my life saver! lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

lol glad to be of help
