Distributions In a continuous uniform distribution,
a. Find the mean and standard deviation for the distribution of the waiting times represented in Figure 6-2, which accompanies Exercises 5鈥8.
b. For a continuous uniform distribution with , the minimum is and the maximum is . For this continuous uniform distribution, find the probability of randomly selecting a value between 鈥1 and 1, and compare it to the value that would be obtained by incorrectly treating the distribution as a standard normal distribution. Does the distribution affect the results very much?
Birth Weights Based on Data Set 4 鈥淏irths鈥 in Appendix B, birth weights are normally distributed with a mean of 3152.0 g and a standard deviation of 693.4 g.
a. What are the values of the mean and standard deviation after converting all birth weights to z scores using ?
b. The original birth weights are in grams. What are the units of the corresponding z scores?
In Exercises 21鈥24, use these parameters (based on Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥 in Appendix B):鈥⑩侻en鈥檚鈥俬eights鈥俛re鈥俷ormally鈥俤istributed鈥倃ith鈥俶ean鈥68.6鈥俰n.鈥俛nd鈥俿tandard鈥俤eviation鈥2.8鈥俰n.鈥⑩俉omen鈥檚 heights are normally distributed with mean 63.7 in. and standard deviation 2.9 in. Executive Jet Doorway the Gulfstream 100 is an executive jet that seats six, and it has a doorway height of 51.6 in.
a. What percentage of adult men can fit through the door without bending?
b. Does the door design with a height of 51.6 in. appear to be adequate? Why didn鈥檛 the engineers design a larger door?
c. What doorway height would allow 40% of men to fit without bending?
In Exercises 5鈥8, find the area of the shaded region. The graphs depict IQ scores of adults, and those scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 (as on the Wechsler IQ test).
Mean Absolute DeviationIs the mean absolute deviation of a sample a good statistic for estimating the mean absolute deviation of the population? Why or why not?
