The average length of crocodiles in a swamp is 11.5 feet. if the lengths are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1.7 feet, find the probability that a crocodile is more than 11 feet long.
solution:
To obtain P(x>11) we first need to obtain the value of the z-score:
z=(11-11.5)/1.7
thus
z=-0.2941
thus
P(x>11)=1-P(z<-0.2941)=1-0.3859=0.6141
