For the standard normal curve, find the z-score that corresponds to the 30th percentile.
Find the z-score for which 99% of the distribution’s area lies between –z and z.
Assume that the heights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 69.0 inches and a standard deviation of 2.8 inches. If 64 men are randomly selected, find the probability that they have a mean height between 68 and 70 inches.
An airline reports that it has been experiencing a 15% rate of no-shows on advanced reservations. Among 150 advanced reservations, find the probability that there will be fewer than 20 no-shows.
For the standard normal curve, find the z-score that corresponds to the 30th percentile.
Answer:
Z-score = -0.5244
(by using z-table or excel)
Find the z-score for which 99% of the distribution’s area lies between –z and z.
Answer:
We are given middle area = 99%
So, area at both sides = 1% = 0.01
So, area at left side = 0.01/2 = 0.005
Z score corresponding the probability 0.005 is
Z = -2.57583
Z score for area at right side = 2.57583
Z = 2.57583
Assume that the heights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 69.0 inches and a standard deviation of 2.8 inches. If 64 men are randomly selected, find the probability that they have a mean height between 68 and 70 inches.
µ = 69, σ = 2.8, n=64
We have to find P(68<Xbar<70) = P(Xbar<70) – P(Xbar<68)
z = (70 – 69)/[2.8/sqrt(64)] = 2.857143
P(Z< 2.857143) = P(Xbar<70) = 0.997863
Z = (68 - 69)/[2.8/sqrt(64)] = -2.85714
P(Z<-2.85714) = P(Xbar<68) = 0.002137
P(68<Xbar<70) = P(Xbar<70) – P(Xbar<68)
P(68<Xbar<70) = 0.997863 - 0.002137
P(68<Xbar<70) = 0.99573
Required probability = 0.99573
An airline reports that it has been experiencing a 15% rate of no-shows on advanced reservations. Among 150 advanced reservations, find the probability that there will be fewer than 20 no-shows.
We are given n=150, p=0.15, q=1- p = 0.85
We have to use normal approximation to binomial distribution.
We have to find P(X<20) = P(X<19.5) (by using continuity correction)
Mean = np = 150*0.15 = 22.5
SD = sqrt(npq) = sqrt(150*0.15*0.85) = 4.373214
Z = (X – mean) / SD
Z = (19.5 - 22.5) / 4.373214
Z = -0.68599
P(Z<-0.68599) = 0.246358
Required probability = 0.246358

In a normal distribution, the mean corresponds to: Standard Score: z = Percentile: Which of the following statements are TRUE about the normal distribution? Check all that apply. A data value with z-score = -1.5 is located 1.5 standard deviations below the mean. The mean corresponds to the z-score of 1. The Empirical Rule only applies when a value is exactly 1, 2, or 3 standard deviations away from the mean. A z-score is the number of standard deviations a...
