The area under the density curve that lies to the right of 15 is 0.324. What percentage of all possible observations of the variable

a. exceed 15 ?

b. are at most 15 ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Percentage of variable's observations that exceed 15=32.4%

Percentage of variable's observations that are at most15=67.6%

Step by step solution

01

Density Curve Concept 

Density Curve is a graphical representation of numerical distribution, having variable outcomes that are continuous (which can take non whole values), like weight =45.3Kgs

02

Density Curve Probability

It shows likelihood ( probability) of continuous variable' outcomes. As total probability = 1, total area under the curve is also equal to1

Percentage of total observations that lie within a range is equal to percentage of area under the curve between the corresponding values.

03

Explanation 

As under the density curve that lies to the right of 15=0.324out of total area = 1, so percentage of observations more than 15=32.4%

Hence, percentage of observations that are at most 15include observations that are less than or equal to 15. These observations are to the left of 15, so 1-0.324=67.6%

In Exercises 21โ€“24, use these parameters (based on Data Set 1 โ€œBody Dataโ€ in Appendix B):โ€ขโ€‚Menโ€™sโ€‚heightsโ€‚areโ€‚normallyโ€‚distributedโ€‚withโ€‚meanโ€‚68.6โ€‚in.โ€‚andโ€‚standardโ€‚deviationโ€‚2.8โ€‚in.โ€ขโ€‚Womenโ€™s heights are normally distributed with mean 63.7 in. and standard deviation 2.9 in. Executive Jet Doorway the Gulfstream 100 is an executive jet that seats six, and it has a doorway height of 51.6 in.

a. What percentage of adult men can fit through the door without bending?

b. Does the door design with a height of 51.6 in. appear to be adequate? Why didnโ€™t the engineers design a larger door?

c. What doorway height would allow 40% of men to fit without bending?

In Exercises 9โ€“12, find the area of the shaded region. The graph depicts the standard normal distribution of bone density scores with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.

Jet Ejection Seats The U.S. Air Force once used ACES-II ejection seats designed for men weighing between 140 lb and 211 lb. Given that womenโ€™s weights are normally distributed with a mean of 171.1 lb and a standard deviation of 46.1 lb (based on data from the National Health Survey), what percentage of women have weights that are within those limits? Were many women excluded with those past specifications?

Distributions In a continuous uniform distribution,

ฮผ=minimum+maximum2โ€Šโ€Šโ€Šandฯƒ=range12

a. Find the mean and standard deviation for the distribution of the waiting times represented in Figure 6-2, which accompanies Exercises 5โ€“8.

b. For a continuous uniform distribution with ฮผ=0โ€Šโ€Šโ€Šandโ€Šโ€Šโ€Šฯƒ=1, the minimum is-3 and the maximum is 3. For this continuous uniform distribution, find the probability of randomly selecting a value between โ€“1 and 1, and compare it to the value that would be obtained by incorrectly treating the distribution as a standard normal distribution. Does the distribution affect the results very much?

Continuous Uniform Distribution. In Exercises 5โ€“8, refer to the continuous uniform distribution depicted in Figure 6-2 and described in Example 1. Assume that a passenger is randomly selected, and find the probability that the waiting time is within the given range.
