Step 1 :Given that the age that children learn to walk is normally distributed with a mean (\(\mu\)) of 12 months and a standard deviation (\(\sigma\)) of 1.3 months.
Step 2 :We are asked to find the probability that a randomly selected person learned to walk between 11 and 13 months old.
Step 3 :This is a problem of normal distribution. We can use the Z-score formula to standardize the values and then use the standard normal distribution table to find the probability.
Step 4 :The Z-score formula is: \(Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}\), where X is the value we are standardizing.
Step 5 :We will need to calculate two Z-scores, one for 11 months and one for 13 months, and then find the difference in the cumulative probabilities for these two Z-scores.
Step 6 :Calculating the Z-scores: \(Z_{11} = \frac{11 - 12}{1.3} = -0.7692\) and \(Z_{13} = \frac{13 - 12}{1.3} = 0.7692\)
Step 7 :Using the standard normal distribution table, we find the cumulative probabilities for these Z-scores: \(P_{11} = 0.2209\) and \(P_{13} = 0.7791\)
Step 8 :The probability that a randomly selected person learned to walk between 11 and 13 months old is the difference in these probabilities: \(P = P_{13} - P_{11} = 0.7791 - 0.2209 = 0.5582\)
Step 9 :Final Answer: The probability that one randomly selected person learned to walk when the person was between 11 and 13 months old is approximately \(\boxed{0.5582}\).
