Express the quartiles,, and , of a normally distributed variable in terms of its mean, , and standard deviation, .
The area under the standard normal curve that lies to the left of a -score is always strictly between ------ and ------.
From the U.S. Census Bureau, in the document International Data Base, we obtained data on the total fertility rates for women in various countries. Those data are presented on the WeissStats site. The total fertility rate gives the average number of children that would be born if all women in a given country lived to the end of their childbearing years and, at each year of age, they experienced the birth rates occurring in the specified year. Use the technology of your choice to decide whether total fertility rates for countries appear to be approximately normally distributed. Explain your answer.
19. If you observe the values of a normally distributed variable for a sample, a normal probability plot should be roughly_________
Gestation Periods of Humans. mean of 266 days and a standard deviation of 16 days.
a. Use the technology of your choice to simulate four random samples of 50 human gestation periods each.
b. Obtain a normal probability plot of each sample in part (a).
c. Are the normal probability plots in part (b) what you expected? Explain your answer.
