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.

Between -1.00 and 5.00

Short Answer

Expert verified

The graph for the bone density test score between -1.00 and 5.00 is as follows.

The probability of the bone density test score between -1.00 and 5.00 is 0.8412.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The bone density test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.

02

Describe the distribution

The distribution of the bone density test scores follows the standard normal distribution, and the variable for the bone density test score is denoted by Z.

Thus,

Z~N,2~N0,12

03

Draw a graph that the z-score lies between -1.00 and 5.00

Steps to draw a normal curve:

  1. Make a horizontal axis and a vertical axis.
  2. Mark the points -4,-3, -2, -1 up to 6 on the horizontal axis and points 0, 0.05,

0.10 up to 0.50 on the vertical axis.

  1. Provide titles to the horizontal and vertical axes as z and P(z), respectively.
  2. Shade the region between -1.00 and 5.00.

The shaded area of the graph indicates the probability of the z-score between -1.00 and 5.00.

04

Find the cumulative areas corresponding to the z-scores

As there is a one-to-one correspondence between the area and probabilities, the probability that the bone density between -1.00 and 5.00 is computed as

P-1.00<Z<5.00=PZ<5.00-PZ<-1.00...(1)

Referring to the standard normal table for the negative z-score, the cumulative probability of 5 is obtained from the cell intersection for the row 3.50 and the column value 0.00, which is 0.9999.

Referring to the standard normal table for the negative z-score, the cumulative probability of -1 is obtained from the cell intersection for row -1 and the column value of 0.00, which is 0.1587.

Thus,

.PZ<5.00=0.9999PZ<-1.00=0.1587

05

Find the probability

The probability that the bone density between -1.00 and 5.00 is obtained by substituting the cumulative probability in equation (1) is

P-1.00<Z<5.00=PZ<5.00-PZ<-1.00=0.9999-0.1587=0.8412

Thus, the probability of the bone density test score between -1.00 and 5.00 is 0.8412.

Standard Normal Distribution Identify the two requirements necessary for a normal distribution to be a standard normal distribution

Water Taxi SafetyWhen a water taxi sank in Baltimore鈥檚 Inner Harbor, an investigation revealed that the safe passenger load for the water taxi was 3500 lb. It was also noted that the mean weight of a passenger was assumed to be 140 lb. Assume a 鈥渨orst-case鈥 scenario in which all of

the passengers are adult men. Assume that weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 188.6 lb and a standard deviation of 38.9 lb (based on Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥 in Appendix B).

a. If one man is randomly selected, find the probability that he weighs less than 174 lb (the new value suggested by the National Transportation and Safety Board).

b. With a load limit of 3500 lb, how many male passengers are allowed if we assume a mean weight of 140 lb?

c. With a load limit of 3500 lb, how many male passengers are allowed if we assume the updated mean weight of 188.6 lb?

d. Why is it necessary to periodically review and revise the number of passengers that are allowed to board?

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 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).

Quarters After 1964, quarters were manufactured so that their weights have a mean of5.67 g and a standard deviation of 0.06 g. Some vending machines are designed so that you canadjust the weights of quarters that are accepted. If many counterfeit coins are found, you cannarrow the range of acceptable weights with the effect that most counterfeit coins are rejectedalong with some legitimate quarters.

a. If you adjust your vending machines to accept weights between 5.60 g and 5.74 g, what percentage of legal quarters are rejected? Is that percentage too high?

b. If you adjust vending machines to accept all legal quarters except those with weights in the top 2.5% and the bottom 2.5%, what are the limits of the weights that are accepted?
