A research shows that the Richter scale magnitudes ofearthquakes are normally distributed with a mean of 1.67 and astandard deviation of 0.385. Earthquakes with magnitudes less than2.00 are considered "microearthquakes" that humans do not feel.What percentage of earthquakes fall into this category?
Student’s partially finished answer: We need to find theprobability that earthquakes fall into the microearthquakecategory. The first step is to find the probability that theRichter scale is less than 2.00.
Please show your calculations using Excel functions in the areato the right of this text box and finish answering the problem withexplanations below.
