Pediatricians work an average of 48 h per week. The standard deviation is 12 hours. What percentage of pediatricians work more than 72 h per​ week

Respuesta :

Answer: 2.28 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mean : [tex]\mu=\ 48[/tex]

Standard deviation :[tex]\sigma= 12[/tex]

The formula to calculate the z-score :-

[tex]z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

For x = 72

[tex]z=\dfrac{72-48}{12}=2[/tex]

The p-value = [tex]P(2<z)=1-P(z<2)[/tex]

[tex]1-0.9772498=0.0227502\approx0.0228[/tex]

In percent, [tex]0.0228\times100=2.28\%[/tex]

Hence, the  percentage of pediatricians work more than 72 h per​ week = 2.28 %
