Chapter 6: Q6.4 (page 260)

The percentage of all possible observations of the variable that lie between 7 & 12 equals the area under its density curve between _ and _, expressed as a percentage.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Percentage of total observations that lie between 7 & 12 equals the area under density curve between x > 7 & x <10 expressed as a percentage

Step by step solution

01

Density Curve Concept 

Density Curve is a graphical representation of numerical distribution, having variable outcomes that are continuous (which can take non whole values), like weight = 45.3 Kgs

02

Density Curve Probability 

It shows likelihood ( probability) of continuous variable' outcomes. As total probability = 1, total area under the curve is also equal to 1.

Percentage of total observations that lie within a range is equal to percentage of area under the curve between the corresponding values.

03

Explanation

The percentage of all possible observations of the variable that lie between 7 & 12 equals the area under its density curve between x> 7 & x < 12

Most popular questions from this chapter

Outliers For the purposes of constructing modified boxplots as described in Section 3-3, outliers are defined as data values that are aboveQ3 by an amount greater than1.5脳IQR or below Q1by an amount greater than1.5脳IQR, where IQR is the interquartile range. Using this definition of outliers, find the probability that when a value is randomly selected from a normal distribution, it is an outlier.

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).

Durations of PregnanciesThe lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 268 days and a standard deviation of 15 days.

a. In a letter to 鈥淒ear Abby,鈥� a wife claimed to have given birth 308 days after a brief visit fromher husband, who was working in another country. Find the probability of a pregnancy lasting308 days or longer. What does the result suggest?

b. If we stipulate that a baby is prematureif the duration of pregnancy is in the lowest 3%,find the duration that separates premature babies from those who are not premature. Premature babies often require special care, and this result could be helpful to hospital administrators in planning for that care.

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

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).
