In Exercises 9鈥12, find the indicated IQ score and round to the nearest whole number. 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).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The IQ score is 69.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A shaded region is shown in the graph for the standard normal distribution of the IQ scores of adults.

The mean IQ score is 100.

The standard deviation of the IQ score is 15.

The area of the shaded region is 0.9798.

02

State the relationship between area and probability 

The left-tailed area is equal to the cumulative probabilities that are obtained by using the standard normal table (Table A-2) for z scores.

In the case of finding the right-tailed areas, the difference of these cumulative probabilities from 1 gives the required area toward the right of the z score.

03

Obtain the z score corresponding to the IQ score x

Let X represent the IQ score of adults.

The variable X is normally distributed with the mean =100, and the standard deviation is =15.

The area to the right of x is 0.9798.

Mathematically,

PZ>z=0.97981-PZ<z=0.9798PZ<z=0.0202

Using the standard normal table, the area of 0.0202 is observed corresponding to the row value -2 and the column value 0.05. This implies that the z score is -2.05.

Therefore,

PZ>-2.05=0.9798

Thus, the z score corresponding to x is -2.05.

04

Compute the IQ score x

The IQ score is computed as

x-=-2.05x-10015=-2.05x=-2.0515+10069

Thus, the value of x is 69.

Standard Normal DistributionIn Exercises 17鈥36, 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. In each case, draw a graph, then find the probability of the given bone density test scores. If using technology instead of Table A-2, round answers

to four decimal places.

Between 2.00 and 3.00.

Sampling Distribution Data Set 4 鈥淏irths鈥 in Appendix B includes a sample of birth weights. If we explore this sample of 400 birth weights by constructing a histogram and finding the mean and standard deviation, do those results describe the sampling distribution of the mean? Why or why not?

In Exercises 7鈥10, use the same population of {4, 5, 9} that was used in Examples 2 and 5. As in Examples 2 and 5, assume that samples of size n = 2 are randomly selected with replacement.

Sampling Distribution of the Sample Proportion

a. For the population, find the proportion of odd numbers.

b. Table 6-2 describes the sampling distribution of the sample mean. Construct a similar table representing the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of odd numbers. Then combine values of the sample proportion that are the same, as in Table 6-3. (Hint: See Example 2 on page 258 for Tables 6-2 and 6-3, which describe the sampling distribution of the sample mean.)

c. Find the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of odd numbers.

d. Based on the preceding results, is the sample proportion an unbiased estimator of the population proportion? Why or why not?

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).

Critical Values. In Exercises 41鈥44, find the indicated critical value. Round results to two decimal places.
