1. One of the calculations we do this week is the “expected value” or mean of a distribution.
a. In your non-math life, what does “expected” mean to you? Answer in 1 – 5 complete sentences.
b. What does “expected value” mean in a probability/statistics situation? How is it calculated? Answer in complete sentences, please (not math; use words).
2. Suppose we have a Normal distribution with mean 35 and standard deviation 4.
a. Take a few minutes to draw this curve very neatly and accurately. Reference the document “How to Draw a Normal Curve” in this assessment.
Use a separate sheet of paper, or add extra space here, and use a straightedge to draw an axis.
b. Label your curve from part a with the 68-95-99.7 Rule.
c. If we randomly select a value from this Normal model and call that value x, find:
i. P(x < 30)
ii. P(x > 30.4)
iii. P(33 < x < 40)
Make a note about how you’re doing your calculations (Ti-8x, GeoGebra, Excel, etc.) and what you enter.
d. The middle 90% of the Normal curve is between what two values? (We’re looking for a symmetric interval here, so 45% is above the mean and 45% below the mean.)
1.
(a) Expected means likely or which has the possibility to happen. It is believed to be going to happen or arrive.
(b) The expected value is a predicted value of a variable. It is calculated by multiplying each of the possible outcomes by the likelihood each outcome will occur, and summing all of those values.

(d)
The middle 90% under a bell curve is the middle section of the bell curve that excludes the 5% of the area on the left and 5% of the area on the right.

A design has an expected distribution of stress with a mean value of 1 MPa and a standard deviation of 0.3 MPa. The strength of the design is expected to have a mean value of 2 MPa and a standard deviation of 0.2 MPa. Both can be assumed to be normal distributions. What is the expected failure rate of the design?

1. Assuming age fits a normal distribution (it definitely does not!) with your mean and standard deviation. Note: The answers will seem ridiculous! (a) Draw the normal curve with the usual labels for the 68-95-99.7 rule. (b) 68% of students are between what two ages? (c) 95% of students are between what two ages? (d) 99.7% of students are between what two ages? (e) 50% of students are older than what age? (f) 34% of students are between what two...
