Problem
Kestrels are birds whose adult wingspans are normally distributed with mean 74.8cm and standard deviation 3.2cm. A random sample of 120 adult kestrels is selected.
(a) How many of these 120 adult kestrels would you expect to have wingspan between 72.4cm and 76.3cm?
(4)
The masses of adult kestrels are normally distributed with mean μkg and standard deviation σkg. It is known that 20% of adult kestrels have mass greater than 0.202kg and 28% have mass less than 0.185kg.
(b) Find the value of μ and the value of σ.
(5)
10 adult kestrels are selected at random.
(c) Find the probability that fewer than 3 have masses greater than 0.202kg.

红隼是一种鸟,其成鸟的翼展服从正态分布,均值为 74.8cm,标准差为 3.2cm。随机选取 120 只成年红隼作为样本。
(a) 预计这 120 只成年红隼中有多少只的翼展在 72.4cm 与 76.3cm 之间?
(4)
成年红隼的质量服从正态分布,均值为 μkg,标准差为 σkg。已知 20% 的成年红隼质量大于 0.202kg,28% 的成年红隼质量小于 0.185kg。
(b) 求 μ 和 σ 的值。
(5)
随机选取 10 只成年红隼。
(c) 求其中质量大于 0.202kg 的红隼少于 3 只的概率。

将两个翼展边界标准化,求区间概率后乘120,原变量连续,不作连续性修正。

Let W∼N(74.8,3.22) denote wingspan in centimetres. Then
P(72.4<W<76.3)===P(3.272.4−74.8<Z<3.276.3−74.8)Φ(0.46875)−Φ(−0.75)0.453748….
The expected number is 120(0.453748…)=54.4498…, giving 54 kestrels.

0.202对应左尾0.80,0.185对应左尾0.28。两条标准化等式相减先求标准差,再代回求均值。

The standard normal quantiles are
Φ−1(0.80)=0.841621…,Φ−1(0.28)=−0.582841….
Thus
0.202−μ=0.185−μ=0.841621…σ,−0.582841…σ.
Subtracting,
0.017=σ=(0.841621…+0.582841…)σ,0.0119343….
Then μ=0.202−0.841621…σ=0.1919558…, so
μ≈0.192,σ≈0.0119.
