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 -4.27 and 2.34

Short Answer

Expert verified

The graph for the bone density test score between -4.27 and 2.34 is as follows.

The probability of the bone density test score between -4.27 and 2.34 is 0.9903.

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 score 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

Sketch a graph that the z-score lies between -4.27 and 2.34  

Steps to draw a normal curve:

  1. Make a horizontal axis and a vertical axis.
  2. Mark the points -5, -4, -3 up to 4 on the horizontal axis and points 0, 0.05, 0.10 up to 0.50 on the vertical axis.
  3. Provide titles to the horizontal and vertical axes as z and P(z), respectively.
  4. Shade the region between -4.27 and 2.34.

The shaded area of the graph indicates the probability of the z-score between -4.27 and 2.34.

04

Find the cumulative area corresponding to the z-score

As the area has a one-to-one correspondence with the probability, the probability that the bone density test score between -4.27 and 2.34 is computed as

P-4.27<Z<2.34=PZ<2.34-PZ<-4.27...(1)

Referring to the standard normal table for the negative z-score, the cumulative probability of 2.34 is obtained from the cell intersection for row 2.3 and the column value of 0.04, which is 0.9904.

Referring to the standard normal table for the negative z-score, the cumulative probability of -4.27 is obtained from the cell intersection for rows -3.50 and the column value of 0.00, which is 0.0001.

Thus,

PZ<2.34=0.9904PZ<-4.27=0.0001

05

Find the probability

The probability that the bone density test score between -4.27 and 2.34 is obtained by substituting the cumulative probability in equation (1) is

P-4.27<Z<2.34=PZ<2.34-PZ<-4.27=0.9904-0.0001=0.9903

Thus, the probability of the bone density test score between -4.27 and 2.34 is 0.9903.

Sampling Distribution of the Median Repeat Exercise 11 using medians instead of means.

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).

Hybridization A hybridization experiment begins with four peas having yellow pods and one pea having a green pod. Two of the peas are randomly selected with replacement from this population.

a. After identifying the 25 different possible samples, find the proportion of peas with yellow pods in each of them, then construct a table to describe the sampling distribution of the proportions of peas with yellow pods.

b. Find the mean of the sampling distribution.

c. Is the mean of the sampling distribution [from part (b)] equal to the population proportion of peas with yellow pods? Does the mean of the sampling distribution of proportions always equal the population proportion?
