Answer :
56 members will weigh 166 pounds or more. The closest answer choice is: A. 67
We'll use the concepts of normal distribution, z-scores, and a z-table. Follow these steps:
1. Calculate the z-score for 166 pounds using the formula: z = (X - μ) / σ
where X = 166 pounds, μ = mean (176 pounds), and σ = standard deviation (114 pounds)
z = (166 - 176) / 114 = -10 / 114 ≈ -0.088
2. Look up the corresponding probability for the z-score in a z-table.
For a z-score of -0.088, the probability is approximately 0.535.
3. Since we want to know how many members weigh 166 pounds or more, we need to find the proportion of members in the upper tail of the distribution. To do this, subtract the probability found in the z-table from 1:
1 - 0.535 = 0.465
4. Multiply the proportion by the total number of members (120) to find the number of members weighing 166 pounds or more:
0.465 * 120 ≈ 56
However, none of the provided answer choices matches this result. Please check the question for any typos or errors. If the question's parameters are correct, the closest answer choice is: A. 67
