    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 15 or more children in the sample? (z is normally distributed by default).


    1. FALSE: P(z ≤ 0.86)
    2. FALSE: P(z ≤ -0.86)
    3. FALSE: 1- P(z ≥ -0.86)
    4. TRUE: 1- P((z ≤ -0.86)
    5. FALSE: 1- P(z ≤ 15)

    1. P(z ≤ 0.86): Incorrect
    2. P(z ≤ -0.86): Incorrect
    3. 1- P(z ≥ -0.86): Incorrect
    4. 1- P((z ≤ -0.86): Correct
    5. 1- P (z ≤ 15): Incorrect
