The weight X of babies (of a fixed age) is normally distributed with mean μ = 212 ounces and standard deviation σ = 25 ounces. Doctors would also be concerned (not necessarily alarmed) if a baby is among the upper 10 percent in weight. Find the cut-off weight u, above which the doctors will be concerned.
The weight X of salmon caught in a river is normally distributed with mean μ = 24 pounds and standard deviation σ = 6 pounds. You can keep those that are among that upper 66 percent in weight. What is the cut-off weight l, above which you can keep the fish?
The height of an adult male in a region is known to be normally dis- tributed with mean of μ = 69 inches and a standard deviation σ = 2.5inches. How high should a doorway be so that 92 percent of adult males can pass through it without having to bend?
The hourly wages X in an industry has a normal distribution with mean $40 and standard deviation $17. What is the 97 percentile of the hourly wage?
#1.
mean = 212
sd = 25
z-value for top 10%, 1.2816
using central limit theorem
x = 212 + 1.2816*25
x = 244.04
Ans: 244.04 ounces
#2.
mean = 24 and sd = 6
z-value for top 66%, 0.4125
using central limit theorem,
x = 24 + 0.4125*6
x = 26.475
Ans: 26.5 ounces
The weight X of babies (of a fixed age) is normally distributed with mean μ =...
