It has been reported that,on average,families in Colorado Springs eat fast food 2.2 times per week with a standard deviation of 1.1 times per week.Assume that the distribution of the number of times that families eat fast food is a normal distribution.What is the likelihood that a family eats fast food one to three times each week?

Normal Distribution

It's a probability distribution where the frequency of data decreases as the distance from the mean increases, exhibiting symmetry about the mean.

Standard Deviation

A statistical measure that quantifies the dispersion or spread of a set of data points around their mean.

Fast Food

Food that can be prepared and served quickly, typically part of a fast-food restaurant's menu, known for being convenient and often less nutritious.

  • Calculate probabilities involving normal distributions based on given means and standard deviations.

Final Answer :
μ = 2.2,σ = 1.1.Using Excel "=NORM.DIST(3,2.2,1.1,TRUE)-NORM.DIST(1,2.2,1.1,TRUE)" = 0.62881.There is a 62.88% probability that a family eats fast food one to three times each week.
