Using the Central Limit Theorem. In Exercises 5鈥8, assume that females have pulse rates that are normally distributed with a mean of 74.0 beats per minute and a standard deviation of 12.5 beats per minute (based on Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥 in Appendix B).
a. If 1 adult female is randomly selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is greater than 70 beats per minute.
b. If 25 adult females are randomly selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean greater than 70 beats per minute.
c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part (b), even though the sample size does not exceed 30?
Mensa Membership in Mensa requires a score in the top 2% on a standard intelligence test. The Wechsler IQ test is designed for a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15, and scores are normally distributed.
a. Find the minimum Wechsler IQ test score that satisfies the Mensa requirement.
b. If 4 randomly selected adults take the Wechsler IQ test, find the probability that their mean
score is at least 131.
c. If 4 subjects take the Wechsler test and they have a mean of 132 but the individual scores are lost, can we conclude that all 4 of them are eligible for Mensa?
Standard normal distribution, 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 score. If using technology instead of Table A-2, round answers to four decimal places.
Greater than -3.75
Critical Values. In Exercises 41鈥44, find the indicated critical value. Round results to two decimal places.
Loading AircraftBefore every flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft can carry 37 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6200 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 6200 lb/37 = 167.6 lb. What is the probability that the aircraft is overloaded? Should the pilot take any action to correct for an overloaded aircraft? Assume that weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 189 lb and a standard deviation of 39 lb (based on Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥 in Appendix B).
