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

Short Answer

Expert verified

The graph for the bone density test score of more than -3.75 is as follows.

The probability of the bone density test score being greater than -3.75 is 0.9999.

The graph for the bone density test score of more than -3.75 is as follows.

The probability of the bone density test score being greater than -3.75 is 0.9999.

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 is greater than -3.75

Steps to draw a normal curve:

  1. Make a horizontal axis and a vertical axis.
  2. Mark the points -4.5, -4.0, -3.5 up to 3.5 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 greater than -3.75.

The shaded area of the graph indicates the probability that the z-score is greater than -3.75.

Due to a one-to-one correspondence of the area and probability in the standard normal curve, the cumulative probability of -3.75 is the same as the area to the left of -3.75.

Also, the area to the right of -3.75 is equal to 1 minus the area to the left of -3.75.

04

Find the cumulative area corresponding to the z-score 

The probability that the bone density test score is greater than -3.75 is computed as

PZ>-3.75=Areatorightof-3.75=1-Areatotheleftof-3.75=1-PZ<-3.75

Referring to the standard normal table for the negative z-score, the cumulative probability of -3.75 is obtained from the cell intersection for row -3.50 and the column value of 0.00, which is 0.0001.

PZ>-3.75=1-0.0001=0.9999

Thus, the probability of the bone density test score being greater than -3.75 is 0.9999.

Bone Density Test A bone mineral density test is used to identify a bone disease. The result of a bone density test is commonly measured as a z score, and the population of z scores is normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.

a. For a randomly selected subject, find the probability of a bone density test score less than 1.54.

b. For a randomly selected subject, find the probability of a bone density test score greater than -1.54.

c. For a randomly selected subject, find the probability of a bone density test score between -1.33 and 2.33.

d. Find Q1, the bone density test score separating the bottom 25% from the top 75%.

e. If the mean bone density test score is found for 9 randomly selected subjects, find the probability that the mean is greater than 0.50.

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 0.18

In Exercises 11鈥14, use the population of {34, 36, 41, 51} of the amounts of caffeine (mg/12oz) in鈥侰oca-Cola鈥俍ero,鈥侱iet鈥侾epsi,鈥侱r鈥侾epper,鈥俛nd鈥侻ellow鈥俌ello鈥俍ero.

Assume鈥倀hat鈥 random samples of size n = 2 are selected with replacement.

Sampling Distribution of the Variance Repeat Exercise 11 using variances instead of means.

Unbiased Estimators Data Set 4 鈥淏irths鈥 in Appendix B includes birth weights of 400 babies. If we compute the values of sample statistics from that sample, which of the following statistics are unbiased estimators of the corresponding population parameters: sample mean; sample median; sample range; sample variance; sample standard deviation; sample proportion?

Water Taxi Safety Passengers died when a water taxi sank in Baltimore鈥檚 Inner Harbor. Men are typically heavier than women and children, so when loading a water taxi, assume a worst-case scenario in which all passengers are men. 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). The water taxi that sank had a stated capacity of 25 passengers, and the boat was rated for a load limit of 3500 lb.

a. Given that the water taxi that sank was rated for a load limit of 3500 lb, what is the maximum mean weight of the passengers if the boat is filled to the stated capacity of 25 passengers?

b. If the water taxi is filled with 25 randomly selected men, what is the probability that their mean weight exceeds the value from part (a)?

c. After the water taxi sank, the weight assumptions were revised so that the new capacity became 20 passengers. If the water taxi is filled with 20 randomly selected men, what is the probability that their mean weight exceeds 175 lb, which is the maximum mean weight that does not cause the total load to exceed 3500 lb?

d. Is the new capacity of 20 passengers safe?
