Answer:
The expected combined weight of the child's lollipop and two chocolate bars is 5.5 oz.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal probability distribution
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Addition of normal variables:
The mean is the sum of the means.
Find the expected combined weight of the child's lollipop and two chocolate bars.
Child lollipop: Mean 1.5 oz
Chocolate bars: Mean 2 oz
One lollipop and 2 bars combined
The mean will be 1.5 + 2*2 = 5.5 oz
The expected combined weight of the child's lollipop and two chocolate bars is 5.5 oz.
