Use Table A to find the value zfrom the standard Normal distribution that satisfies each of the following conditions. In each case, sketch a standard Normal curve with your value of zmarked on the axis.

5. 45%of all observations are greater than z.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of zis 0.13.And the standard Normal curve is,

Step by step solution

01

Given Information 

Given that, 45%of all observations are greater than z,

The value ofz=?

02

Explanation 

Using standard normal (z)table,

P(Z>z)=45%1-P(Z<z)=0.45P(Z<z)=1-0.45P(Z<z)=0.55P(Z<0.13)=0.55z=0.13

R2.4 Aussie, Aussie, Aussie A group of Australian students were asked to estimate the width of their classroom in feet. Use the dot plot and summary statistics below to answer the following questions.

(a) Suppose we converted each student's guess from feet to meters (3.28ft=1m). How would the shape of the distribution be affected? Find the mean, median, standard deviation, and IQR for the transformed data.

(b) The actual width of the room was 42.6feet. Suppose we calculated the error in each student's guess as follows: guess -42.6. Find the mean and standard deviation of the errors. How good were the students' guesses? Justify your answer.
