Suppose that for a certain individual, calorie intake at breakfast is a random variable with expected value
Question:
Suppose that for a certain individual, calorie intake at breakfast is a random variable with expected value 500 and standard deviation 50, calorie intake at lunch is random with expected value 900 and standard deviation 100, and calorie intake at dinner is a random variable with expected value 2000 and standard deviation 180. Assuming that intakes at different meals are independent of one another, what is the probability that average calorie intake per day over the next
(365-day) year is at most 3500? [Hint: Let Xi
, Yi
, and Zi denote the three calorie intakes on day i. Then total intake is given by (Xi Yi Zi
).]
