Score: 0 of 1 pt 8 of 14 (10 complete) HW Score: 57.14%, 8 of 14 pts 5.1.33 Question Help The mean weight of a breed of yearling cattle is 1162 pounds. Suppose that weights of all such animals can be described by a Normal model with a standard deviation of 96 pounds. What weight would be considered unusually low for such an animal? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes within your choice. O A. Any weight more than 2 standard deviations below the mean, or less than pounds, is unusualy low. One would expect to see a steer 3 O B. Any weight more than 3 standard deviations below the mean, or less thanpounds, is unusually low. One would expect to see a steer 2 O C. Any weight more than 1 standard deviations below the mean, or less than pounds, is unusually low. One would expect to see a steer 2 standard deviations below the mean, or less than pounds only rarely. standard deviations below the mean, or less than pounds only rarely standard deviations below the mean, or less than pounds only rarely ary

Explanation / Answer

Weight which is 2 standard deviation below the mean = 1162 - 2*96 = 970 pounds

Weight which is 3 standard deviation below the mean = 1162 - 3*96 = 874 pounds

Hence,

Option A; 970 pounds; 874 pounds
