Q1.
For a normal distribuon curve with a mean of 19 and a standard deviaon of 6, which range of the variable denes an area under the curve corresponding to a probability
of approximately 68%?
Ans
Normal Distribuon
Mean ( u ) =19
Standard Deviaon ( sd )=6
Normal Distribuon = Z= X- u / sd ~ N(0,1)
To nd P(a < = Z < = b) = F(b) - F(a)
P(X < 13) = (13-19)/6
= -6/6 = -1
= P ( Z <-1) From Standard Normal Table
= 0.15866
P(X < 25) = (25-19)/6
= 6/6 = 1
= P ( Z <1) From Standard Normal Table
= 0.84134
P(13 < X < 25) = 0.84134-0.15866 = 0.6827 ~ 68%
Q2.
What is the area under the standard normal distribuon curve between z = 1.50 and z = 2.50?
Ans
To nd P(a ≤ Z ≤ b) = F(b) - F(a)
P(X < 1.5) = X- u / sd = P( X < Z ) [ We Have Value of Z = 1.5 ]
= P ( X < 1.5 ) From Standard Normal Table
= 0.9332
P(X < 2.5) = X- u / sd = P( X < Z ) [ We Have Value of Z = 2.5 ]
= P ( X < 2.5 ) From Standard Normal Table
= 0.9938
And P(1.5 < X < 2.5) = 0.0606
Q3.
The average height of @owering cherry trees in a certain nursery is 9.5 feet. If the heights are normally distributed with a standard deviaon of 1.3 feet, nd the probability
that a tree is less than 11.5 feet tall?
Ans
Normal Distribuon
Mean ( u ) =9.5
Standard Deviaon ( sd )=1.3
Normal Distribuon = Z= X- u / sd ~ N(0,1)
P(X < 11.5) = (11.5-9.5)/1.3
= 2/1.3= 1.5385
= P ( Z <1.5385) From Standard Normal Table
= 0.94
Q4.
If a normally distributed group of test scores have a mean of 70 and a standard deviaon of 12, nd the percentage of scores that will fall below 50?
Ans
Normal Distribuon
Mean ( u ) =70
Standard Deviaon ( sd )=12
Normal Distribuon = Z= X- u / sd ~ N(0,1)
P(X < 50) = (50-70)/12
= -20/12= -1.6667
= P ( Z <-1.6667) From Standard Normal Table
= 0.0475~ 4.75%
Q5.
For a normal distribuon with a mean of 13 and a standard deviaon of 6, the value –2 has a z value of
Ans
P(X < -2) = (-2-13)/6
= -15/6= -2.5
Q6.
What is the area under the standard normal distribuon curve between z = 0 and z = - 2.16 ?
