A variable is normally distributed with mean and standard deviation .
Part (a): Determine and interpret the quartiles of the variable.
Part (b): Obtain and interpret the seventh percentile.
Part (c): Find the value that of all possible values of the variable exceed.
Part (d): Find the two values that divide the area under the corresponding normal curve into a middle area of and two outside areas of . Interpret your answer.
As reported in Runner's World magazine, the times of the finishers in the New York City -km run are normally distributed with mean minutes and standard deviation 9 minutes.
Part (a): Determine the percentage of finishers who have times between and minutes.
Part (b): Determine the percentage of finishers who have times less than minutes.
Part (c): Obtain and interpret the th percentile for the finishing times.
Part (d): Find and interpret the th decile for the finishing times.
For the standard normal curve, find the z- score(s)
a. that has area 0.30 to its left.
b. that has area 0.10 to its right.
c.
d. that divide the area under the curve into a middle 0.99 area and two outside 0.005 areas
Briefly, for a normally distributed variable, how do you obtain the percentage of all possible observations that lie within a specified range?
Use Table II to obtain the areas under the standard normal curve required in Exercises 6.59-6.66. Sketch a standard normal curve and shade the area of interest in each problem.
6.60 Determine the area under the standard normal curve that lies to the left of
a.
b.
c. .
