In Exercises 9鈥12, 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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The area of shaded region is 0.8508.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The graph for standard normal distribution of bone density scores is given with a shaded region.

02

State the relationship between area and probability 

The area has one-to-one related with probability in case of density curves with area equal to 1.

The left-tailed areas or cumulative probabilities can be obtained using the standard normal table.In the case of right-tailed areas of the z-score, the area is equivalent to the difference of cumulative probability at the respective z-score from the total area (equal to 1).

03

Find the area of the shaded region

It is required to compute the area to the right of z-score -1.04.

Mathematically,

Areatotherightof-1.04=1-Areatotheleftof-1.04=1-PZ<-1.04...1

By using the standard, normal table, the area is obtained from the table in the cell with row value -1.0 and the column value 0.04, which is obtained as 0.1492.

Mathematically, it is expressed as follows:

PZ<-1.04=0.1492...2

Substitute (2) into (1).

Areatotherightof-1.04=1-0.1492=0.8508

Thus, the shaded area to the right of -1.04 is equal to 0.8508.

Basis for the Range Rule of Thumb and the Empirical Rule. In Exercises 45鈥48, find the indicated area under the curve of the standard normal distribution; then convert it to a percentage and fill in the blank. The results form the basis for the range rule of thumb and the empirical rule introduced in Section 3-2.

About______ % of the area is between z = -1 and z = 1 (or within 1 standard deviation of the mean).

In Exercises 9鈥12, 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.

Blue Eyes Assume that 35% of us have blue eyes (based on a study by Dr. P. Soria at Indiana University).

a. Let B denote the event of selecting someone who has blue eyes. What does the event denote?

b. Find the value of P().

c. Find the probability of randomly selecting three different people and finding that all of them have blue eyes.

d. Find the probability that among 100 randomly selected people, at least 40 have blue eyes.

e. If 35% of us really do have blue eyes, is a result of 40 people with blue eyes among 100 randomly selected people a result that is significantly high?

Finding Bone Density Scores. In Exercises 37鈥40 assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Bone density test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. In each case, draw a graph, then find the bone density test score corresponding to the given information. Round results to two decimal places.

Find P10, the 10th percentile. This is the bone density score separating the bottom 10% from the top 90%.
