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.
Greater than -2.00.
Low Birth Weight The University of Maryland Medical Center considers 鈥渓ow birth weights鈥 to be those that are less than 5.5 lb or 2495 g. Birth weights are normally distributed with a mean of 3152.0 g and a standard deviation of 693.4 g (based on Data Set 4 鈥淏irths鈥 in Appendix B).
a. If a birth weight is randomly selected, what is the probability that it is a 鈥渓ow birth weight鈥?
b. Find the weights considered to be significantly low, using the criterion of a birth weight having a probability of 0.05 or less.
c. Compare the results from parts (a) and (b).
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.
