Question
The annual rainfall (accumulated generally during
the winter and spring) of each year in Orange
County, California, is a Gaussian random variable
with a mean of 17 cm. and a standard deviation
of 3.5 cm.; i.e., N(17,3.5). Suppose the current
water policy of the county is such that if the
annual rainfall is less than 8.5 cm. for a given
year, water rationing will be required during the
summer and fall of that year. Then the probability
of water rationing in Orange County in any given
year is
0.7600 .a
0.0667 .b
0.9967 .c
0 9976 d.
O O
