题目中文翻译
某农场种植的猕猴桃重量 W g 服从平均数为 80 g、标准差为 8 g 的正态分布。题目表格按重量给出了猕猴桃的分类,其中 k 为正常数。
从该农场种植的猕猴桃中随机选取一个。
(a) 求这个猕猴桃属于 Large 类的概率。
35% 的猕猴桃属于 Jumbo 类。
(b) 求 k 的值,答案保留到小数点后 1 位。
Tiny 类猕猴桃中有 75% 的重量大于 y g。
(c) 求 y 的值,答案保留到小数点后 1 位。
解答
(a)

Large 包含 Extra、Jumbo、Mega,也就是 w⩾70。

P(W⩾70)====P(Z⩾870−80)P(Z⩾−1.25)P(Z⩽1.25)0.8944.

Jumbo 是 80⩽W<k,概率为 0.35。由于 P(W<80)=0.5,所以 P(W<k)=0.85。
答题过程
展开
Since 35% are Jumbo,
P(80⩽W<k)=0.35.
As P(W<80)=0.5,
P(W<k)=0.85.
The corresponding standard normal value is
z=1.0364.
So
8k−80=1.0364.
Hence
k=80+1.0364(8)=88.2912.
Therefore
k=88.3.
(c)
解法一
思路
展开
Tiny 是 W<66。其中 75% 大于 y,所以 25% 小于 y。先算 P(W<66),再取它的 25% 作为 P(W<y)。
答题过程
展开
P(W<66)===P(Z<866−80)P(Z<−1.75)0.0401.
Since 75% of Tiny kiwi fruit weigh more than y grams,
P(W<y)=0.25(0.0401)=0.010025.
This corresponds to approximately
z=−2.326.
So
8y−80=−2.326.
Hence
y=80−2.326(8)=61.392.
Therefore
y=61.4.
解法二
思路

也可以直接计算 P(W>y):先取所有非 Tiny 猕猴桃,再加上 Tiny 中位于 y 上方的 75%。
答题过程
展开
As
P(W<66)=P(Z<−1.75)=0.0401,
we have
P(W>y)===P(W⩾66)+0.75P(W<66)0.9599+0.75(0.0401)0.989975.
Thus P(W<y)=0.010025, giving z=−2.326. Hence
y==80+8(−2.326)61.4
to one decimal place.
