11. Answer true or false to each statement. Explain your answers.
a. Two normal distributions that have the same mean are centered at the same place, regardless of the relationship between their standard deviations.
b. Two normal distributions that have the same standard deviation have the same spread, regardless of the relationship between their means.
Use Table to obtain the areas under the standard normal curve. Sketch a standard normal curve and shade the area of interest in each problem.

Find the area under the standard normal curve that lies
a. either to the left of or to the right of .
b. either to the left of or to the right of .
Explain how to obtain normal scores from Table III in Appendix when a sample contains equal observations.
Each year, thousands of high school students bound for college take the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT). This test measures the verbal and mathematical abilities of prospective college students. Student scores are reported on a scale that ranges from a low of to a high of . Summary results for the scores are published by the College Entrance Examination Board in College Bound Seniors. In one high school graduating class, the SAT scores are as provided on the WeissStats site. Use the technology of your choice to answer the following questions.
a. Do the SAT verbal scores for this class appear to be approximately normally distributed? Explain your answer.
b. Do the SAT math scores for this class appear to be approximately normally distributed? Explain your answer.
A variable is normally distributed with a mean and standard deviation . Find the percentage of all possible values of the variable that
a. lie between and
b. exceed
c. are less than .
