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).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The area of the shaded region is 0.7257.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A shaded region is shown in the graph for the standard normal distribution of the IQ scores of adults.

The mean IQ score is 100.

The standard deviation of the IQ score is 15.

02

State the relationship between area and probability 

The left-tailed area is equal to the cumulative probabilities thatare obtained by using the standard normal tablefor zscores.

In the case of finding the right-tailed areas, the difference of these cumulative probabilities from 1 gives the required area toward the right of the zscore.

03

Describe the distribution

Let X represent the IQ score of adults.

The variable x is normally distributed with the mean =100, and the standard deviation is =15.

The IQ score is x=91.

The corresponding z score is computed as

z=x-=91-10015=-0.6

Therefore, the z score is -0.6.

The shaded area is represented as

PX>91=PZ>-0.6=1-PZ<-0.6

04

Compute the probability 

Referring to the standard normal table, the cumulative probability ofis obtained from the cell intersection for rows -0.6 and 0.0, which is 0.2743.

PX>91=1-0.2743=0.7257

Therefore, the area of the shaded region is 0.7257.

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?

In Exercises 9鈥12, find the indicated IQ score and round to the nearest whole number. 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).

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.
