Answer:
The proportion of children that have an index of at least 110 is 0.0478.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given distribution has a mean of 90 and a standard deviation of 12.
Therefore mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] = 90 and standard deviation, [tex]\sigma[/tex] = 12.
It is given to find the proportion of children having an index of at least 110.
We can take the variable to be analysed to be x = 110.
Therefore we have to find p(x < 110), which is left tailed.
Using the formula for z which is p( Z < [tex]\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]) we get p(Z < [tex]\frac{110 - 90}{12}[/tex] = 1.67).
So we have to find p(Z ≥ 1.67) = 1 - p(Z < 1.67)
Using the Z - table we can calculate p(Z < 1.67) = 0.9522.
Therefore p(Z ≥ 1.67) = 1 - 0.9522 = 0.0478
Therefore the proportion of children that have an index of at least 110 is 0.0478
