Select the correct answer


Gavin collects a certain type of seashell. He has 160 seashells. The seashells' weights are distributed normally, with a mean of 120 grams and a

standard deviation of 26 grams.


How many of the seashells weigh at least 68 grams?

A 134

В.152

C.156

D. 109

Respuesta :

Answer: C.156

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total seashells = 160

mean = 120

population standard deviation = 26 grams

The probability that the seashells weigh at least 68 grams :-'

[tex]P(X\geq68) =P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\geq\dfrac{68-120}{26})\\\\=P(z\geq-2)\\\\=P(z<2)\ \ \ [P(Z\geq-z)=P(Z<z)]\\\\= 0.9772\ \ \ [\text{By p-value table}][/tex]

Total seashells weigh at least 68 grams = 0.9772 x 160 = 156.352≈ 156

Hence, the correct option is C.156

Answer:
