Assume that class grades follow a normal distribution of mean μ = 75 and the variance σ2 =144.
a) Find the probability that an individual's grade is greater than 81.
b) What should be the interquartile range?
c)Suppose you select at random (and independently) 10 students. What is the probability that only two of these students have a grade greater than 75?
d) If you draw a sample of size n = 10 from the population of grades described in a), what would be the probability that the sample variance, s2, is greater than 150?
Ans:
mean=75
standard deviation=sqrt(144)=12
a)
z=(81-75)/12
z=0.5
P(z>0.5)=0.3085
b)
For middle 50%, z values are +/-0.6745
Q1=75-0.6745*12=66.9
Q2=75+0.6745*12=83.1
IQR=Q3-Q1=16.2
c)mean=75,so
P(x>75)=0.5
Use binomial distribution with n=10,p=0.5
P(two have grade greater than 75)=10C2*0.5^2*(1-0.5)^8=0.0439
d)
Chi square=(10-1)*150/144=9.375
df=10-1=9
P(chi square>9.375)=CHIDIST(9.375,9)=0.4034

Interpreting the variance and standard deviation: The distribution of grades in an introductory finance class is normally distributed, with an expected grade of 75. If the standard deviation of grades is 7, in what range would you expect 95 percent of the grades to fall?
Sampling Distributions For Questions 6 - 8, let the random variable X follow a Normal distribution with variance σ2 = 625. Q6. A random sample of n = 50 is obtained with a sample mean, X-Bar of 180.

URGENT 4. The test grades in some class follow a normal distribution (we will call it X) with o = 8. Use this information (and the chart!) to answer the following questions: (a) If there is a 60% chance that a student scores higher than a 75, find , the average test grade for this class. (b) Using the you found in part (a), determine P(72 < X <90).
The parent population mean grade, μ, on a final exam was 81, and the parent population standard deviation, σ, was 10. The instructor grades such that only the top 10% of the class receives an A on the final exam, assuming the grades follow a normal distribution (assumed because the number of students is seemingly infinite). What is the minimum grade necessary to make an A on the final?
Take the following sample of student grades from a class: 70, 88, 91, 75, 79, 77, 70, 74, 81, 90 If these are assumed to represent the general pattern of the grades for the full class, use Chebychev’s inequality to give a lower bound on the probability that a given grade will be within 10 points of the average?
It is assumed that the test results for a class follow a normal distribution with a mean of 78 and a standard deviation of 36. If you know that a student's grade is greater than 72, what is the probability that it is greater than 84?
1. Let Xi l be a random sample from a normal distribution with mean μ 50 and variance σ2 16. Find P (49 < Xs <51) and P (49< X <51) 2. Let Y = X1 + X2 + 15 be the sun! of a random sample of size 15 from the population whose + probability density function is given by 0 otherwise 1. Let Xi l be a random sample from a normal distribution with mean μ 50 and...
The grade point averages of the students in a large statistics class follow a normal distribution with a mean of 3.0 and a standard deviation of 0.25. What is the probability that a randomly sampled student from this class has a GPA of less than 2.95? (hint: you will need to use the table on page 175)
For Questions 1-4, let the random variable X follow a Normal distribution with mean u = 200 variance 62 = 625. Q1. A random sample of n = 50 is obtained. What are the mean and variance of the sample mean, X-Bar? a. Mean ==> b. Variance ==> Q2. What is the probability that X-Bar is greater than 204? a. What is Z-Score for X-Bar greater than 204 ==> b. P[Z> Z-Score] ==> Q3. What is the probability that X-Bar...
