Parta: The required area is, 0.7994.

Partb: The required area is, 0.8990.

Partc: The required area is, 0.0500.

Partd: The required area is,0.0198.

Step by step solution

01

Part a Step 1. Given information

02

Part a Step 2. Let us find the area for the given diagram.

The area under the standard normal curve that lies between -1.28and 1.28equals the area to the left of 1.28minus the area to the left of -1.28. Standard normal table shows that these latter two areas are 0.8997and 0.1003respectively. So, the required area is,0.8997-0.1003=0.7994.

03

Part b Step 1. Given information

04

Part b Step 2.Let us find the area for the given diagram.

The area under the standard normal curve that lies between -1.64and 1.64equals the area to the left of 1.64minus the area to the left of -1.64. Standard normal table shows that these latter two areas are 0.9495and 0.0505, respectively. So, the required area is,0.9495-0.0505=0.8990.

05

Part c Step 1. Given information 

06

Part c Step 2. Let us find the area for the given diagram.

First we need to find the area to the left of -1.96and 1.96. Standard normal table shows that these latter two areas are 0.0250and 0.9750, respectively. The area under the standard normal curve that lies to the right of 1.96is, 1-0.9750=0.0250. Therefore, the area under the standard normal curve that lies to the left of -1.96or to the right of1.96is,0.0250+0.0250=0.0500.

07

Part d Step 1. Given information

08

Part d Step 2. Let us find the area for the given diagram.

First find the area to the left of -2.33and 2.33. Standard normal table shows that these latter two areas are 0.0099and 0.9901,respectively. The area under the standard normal curve that lies to the right of 2.33is, 1-0.9901=0.0099. Therefore, the area under the standard normal curve that lies to the left of-2.33or to the right of2.33is,0.0099+0.0099=0.0198.

Students in an introductory statistics course at the U.S. Air Force Academy participated in Nabisco's "Chips Ahoy! 1.000 Chips Challenge" by confirming that there were at least 1000 chips in every18-ounce bag of cookies that they examined. As part of their assignment, they concluded that the number of chips per bag is approximately normally distributed. Could the number of chips per bag be exactly normally distributed? Explain your answer. [SOURCE: B. Warner and J. Rutledge, "Checking the Chips Ahoy! Guarantee," Chance, Vol. 12(1). pp. 10-14]

Elephant Pregnancies. G. Wintemeyer et al. studied demographic data on African elephants living in Kenya in the article "Comparative Demography of an At-risk African Elephant Population (PLOS ONE, Vol. 8. No. 1). Based on this study, we will assume that the time between pregnancies of the African elephant in Kenya, for elephants that have more than one calf, is normally distributed with mean of 4.01 years and a standard deviation of 0.94 years. Determine the percentage of such times that are

a. less than 2 years.

b. between 3 and 5 years.

The National Center for Health Statistics publishes information about birth rates (per 1000population) in the document National Vital Statistics Report. The following table provides a frequency distribution for birth rates during one year for the 50states and the District of Columbia

a. Obtain a frequency histogram of these birth-rate data.

b. Based on your histogram, do you think that birth rates for the 50states and the District of Columbia are approximately normally distributed? Explain your answer.
