4a. Eels are elongated fish, ranging in length from 5 cm to 4 meters. In a certain lake the length of the eels are normally distributed with a mean of 84 cm and a standard deviation of 18 cm. Eels are classified as giant eels if they are more than 120 cm long. An eel is selected at random from the lake. Find the probability that this eel is a giant (write your answer in the form of 0.0000).

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
