1

Assume that thermometer readings are normally distributed with a mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C. A thermometer is randomly selected and tested.

For the case​ below, draw a​ sketch, and find the probability of the reading.​ (The given values are in Celsius​ degrees.)

Between –1.47 and 1.87

card image

The probability of getting a reading between –1.47°C and 1.87°C is 0.8985 .

P(-1.47 < z < 1.87)

= (0.9693 – 0.0708)

2

Assume the readings on thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C.

Find the probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads greater than 0.04 and draw a sketch of the region.

card image

The probability is 0.4840.

P(z > 0.04)

= 1 – P(z < 0.04)

= 1 – 0.5160 = 0.4840

OR

Symmetric to z score of -0.04 (Area = 0.4840)

3

Assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Those test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.

Find the probability that a given score is less than –0.56 and draw a sketch of the region.

card image

The probability is 0.2877.

P(z < -0.56) = 0.2877

Find the indicated z score. The graph depicts the standard normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.

The indicated z score is 2.09.

5

Find the indicated z score. The graph depicts the standard normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.

The indicated z score is –0.54.

Symmetric to Area of 0.7054 (z = 0.54)

OR

Area = 1 – 0.7054 = 0.2946

6

A statistics professor plans classes so carefully that the lengths of her classes are uniformly distributed between 49.0 and 59.0 minutes.

Find the probability that a given class period runs between 50.5 and 51.5 minutes.

0. 1 00

49.0 = 10.0

Since the uniform distribution is​ rectangular, has a length of 10.0​, and an area of​ 1, the height of the uniform distribution is 0.1.

P(between 50.5 and 51.5​) = ​(shaded region ​length) × (shaded region​ height)

= ​(51.5 – 50.5​) × (0.1​)

= 0.1

7

Assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Those test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.

Find the probability that a given score is less than 3.69 and draw a sketch of the region.

card image

The probability is 0.9999.

8

Find the area of the shaded region. The graph depicts the standard normal distribution of bone density scores with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.

The area of the shaded region is 0.8508.

P(z > 0.04)

= 1 – P(z < -1.04)

= 1 – 0.1492 = 0.8505

OR

Symmetric to z score of 1.04 (Area = 0.8508)

9

The waiting times between a subway departure schedule and the arrival of a passenger are uniformly distributed between 0 and 6 minutes. Find the probability that a randomly selected passenger has a waiting time greater than 4.25 minutes.

0.298

P(greater than 45.25​) = ​(length of shaded ​region) ​× (height of shaded​ region)

= ​(6 – 5.25​) × ​(0.167)-round to 2 dec. places

= ​(1.75​ × (0.17)

= 0.2975

10

Assume that thermometer readings are normally distributed with a mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C. A thermometer is randomly selected and tested.

For the case​ below, draw a​ sketch, and find the probability of the reading.​ (The given values are in Celsius​ degrees.)

Between –0.50 and 2.00

card image

The probability of getting a reading between 0.50°C and 2.00°C is 0.2857.

P(0.50 < z < 2.00)

= (0.9772 – 0.6915)
