@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)

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?

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
