    Question

    The distribution of the number of children per family in the U.S. has a mean of 0.9 and a standard deviation of 1.1. If you take a random sample of 20 families in the U.S., what is the probability that there are a total of 30 or fewer children in the sample? (z is normally distributed by default).


    1. FALSE: P(z ≤ 1.5)
    2. TRUE: P(z ≤ 2,4)
    3. FALSE: P(z ≥ 2.4)
    4. FALSE: P(z = 2.4)
    5. FALSE: P(z ≤ 30)

    1. P(z ≤ 1.5): Incorrect
    2. P(z ≤ 2.4): Correct
    3. P(z ≥ 2.4): Incorrect
    4. P(z = 2.4): Incorrect
    5. P(z ≤ 30): Incorrect
