Finding the probability of the sample standard deviation using Normal Distribution

393 Views Asked by At

The maximum wind speed on any given day in Dublin is modelled as Normally distributed with mean 10 knots and standard deviation 2 knots.

(a) Explain potential deficiencies of using the Normal distribution to model wind speeds.

(b) In a 5 day working week what is the probability that at least 2 of the days have maximum wind speed of more than 9 knots, using the Normal distribution?

(c) In a 7 day week, what is the probability that the sample standard deviation is less than 2.5 knots, using the Normal distribution?

I have solved the a) and b) part of the questions however I am a bit confused for the c) part. If anyone can help me over how to solve this.
