Use Table A in the back of the book to find the proportion of observations from a standard Normal distribution that fall in each of the following regions. In each case, sketch a standard Normal curve and shade the area representing the region.

3.0.56<z<1.81

Short Answer

Expert verified

The standard Normal curve, with the region represented by the area, is as follows:

Step by step solution

01

Given Information   

Z-score :0.56<z<1.81

02

Explanation   

From table A,

p(0.56<z<1.81)=p(z<1.81)p(<0.56)=p(z<1.81)[1p(z<0.56)]=0.9649[10.7123]=0.96480.2877=0.6771

R2.6 Horse pregnancies Bigger animals tend to carry their young longer before birth. The length of horse pregnancies from conception to birth varies according to a roughly Normal

distribution with a mean of 336 days and a standard deviation of 3 days. Use the 68-95-99.7 rule to answer the following questions.

(a) Almost all (99.7%)horse pregnancies fall in what range of lengths?

(b) What percent of horse pregnancies are longer than 339 days? Show your work.

Normal is only approximate: ACT scores Scores on the ACT test for the 2007 high school graduating class had mean 21.2and standard deviation 5.0. In all, 1,300,599students in this class took the test. Of these, 149,164had scores higher than 27and another 50,310had scores exactly 27. ACT scores are always whole numbers. The exactly Normal N(21.2,5.0)distribution can include any value, not just whole numbers. What’s more, there is no area exactly above 27under the smooth Normal curve. So ACT scores can be only approximately Normal. To illustrate this fact, find

(a) the percent of 2007ACT scores greater than 27.

(b) the percent of 2007ACT scores greater than or equal to 27.

(c) the percent of observations from theN(21.2,5.0) distribution that are greater than 27. (The percent greater than or equal to 27 is the same, because there is no area exactly over 27.)

Each year, about 1.5million college-bound high school juniors take the PSAT. In a recent year, the mean score on the Critical Reading test was 46.9and the standard deviation was 10.9Nationally, 5.2% of test-takers earned a score of 65 or higher on the Critical Reading test’s 20 to 80 scale. 9

PSAT scores How well did the boys at Scott’s school perform on the PSAT? Give appropriate evidence to support your answer.

Growth charts We used an online growth chart to find percentiles for the height and weight of a 16-year-old girl who is 66 inches tall and weighs 118 pounds. According to the chart, this girl is at the 48th percentile for weight and the 78th percentile for height. Explain what these values mean in plain English.

The proportion of observations from a standard Normal distribution with values larger than 0.75is

(a)0.2266. (c) 0.7734. (e) none of these

(b)0.7422. (d) 0.8023.
