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 1.50 and 2.50.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The graph is represented as follows.

The probability that the bone density score is between 1.50 and 2.50 is 0.0606.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The bone density test scores are normally distributed.

The mean score is =0.

The standard deviation is=1

The z-scores are provided as 1.50 and 2.50.

02

Draw a graph

Let x represent the bone density test score.

As the mean and standard deviation are0 and 1, respectively, x follows a standard normal distribution.

Steps to make a normal curve:

Step 1: Make a horizontal and a vertical axis.

Step 2: Mark the points -4, -2, 0, 2, and 4 on the horizontal axis and points 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 on the vertical axis.

Step 3: Provide titles to the horizontal and vertical axes as 鈥榸鈥 and 鈥榝(z)鈥, respectively.

Step 4: Shade the region between z=1.50 and z=2.50.

The shaded area represents the probability.

03

Compute the probability

Using table A-2,

  • the area to the left of 2.50is obtained from the table in the intersection cell with the row value 2.5 and the column value 0.00, which is obtained as 0.9938, and
  • the area to the left of 1.50is obtained from the table in the intersection cell with the row value 1.5 and the column value 0.00, which is obtained as 0.9332.

The probability that the bone density score is between 1.50 and 2.50 is computed as follows.

P1.50<z<2.50=Pz<2.50-Pz<1.50=0.9938-0.9332=0.0606

Thus, the probability that the bone density score is between 1.50 and 2.50 is 0.0606.

College Presidents There are about 4200 college presidents in the United States, and they have annual incomes with a distribution that is skewed instead of being normal. Many different samples of 40 college presidents are randomly selected, and the mean annual income is computed for each sample. a. What is the approximate shape of the distribution of the sample means (uniform, normal, skewed, other)?

b. What value do the sample means target? That is, what is the mean of all such sample means?

Normal Distribution What鈥檚 wrong with the following statement? 鈥淏ecause the digits 0, 1, 2, . . . , 9 are the normal results from lottery drawings, such randomly selected numbers have a normal distribution.鈥

Continuous Uniform Distribution. In Exercises 5鈥8, refer to the continuous uniform distribution depicted in Figure 6-2 and described in Example 1. Assume that a passenger is randomly selected, and find the probability that the waiting time is within the given range.

In Exercises 13鈥20, use the data in the table below for sitting adult males and females (based on anthropometric survey data from Gordon, Churchill, et al.). These data are used often in the design of different seats, including aircraft seats, train seats, theater seats, and classroom seats. (Hint: Draw a graph in each case.)
