Question 33

The height of a certain species of sunflower, in cm, is normally distributed with a mean of 180 cm and a standard deviation of 12 cm. A gardener has one of these sunflowers.

a.

Find the probability that the sunflower is taller than 170 cm.

[1]
b.

A sunflower is already 170 cm tall. Find the probability that it grows to be taller than 195 cm.

[4]
c.

The gardener believes that the mean height of these sunflowers is greater than 180 cm. He took a random sample of 36 sunflowers and found that their mean height was 183.5 cm. Stating your hypotheses clearly and using a 5% level of significance, test the gardener's belief.
