Chapter 6: Q. 6.82 (page 269)

Determine the two z-scores that divide the area under the standard normal curve into a middle 0.99area and two outside0.005 areas.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The z-score under the usual normal curve with area 0.005to the left is around -2.575.

The z-score with the area 0.005to its right under the conventional normal curve will be2.575.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The given areas are

Middle area is 0.99

Two outside areas are0.005.

02

Explanation

The given middle area is 0.99.

The two outside areas are 0.005

Begin by looking for the 0.005area in the table's body. It is not included in the table, and the closest values are 0.0049and 0.0051. -2.575is the average of two z-scores of -2.57and -2.58.

As a result, the z-score under the usual normal curve with area 0.005to the left is around -2.575.

The z-score with the area 0.005to its right under the conventional normal curve will be 2.575using the symmetry property, which can be depicted as

Below is a section of the standard normal table that is relevant:

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 every 18-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. Their conclusion was based on the data provided on the Weiss Stats site, which gives the number of chips per bag for 42 bags. Do you agree with the conclusion of the students? Explain your answer.

How is a normal probability plot used to detect outliers?

Philosophical and health issues are prompting an increasing number of Taiwanese to switch to a vegetarian lifestyle. In the paper "LDL of Taiwanese Vegetarians Are Less Oxidizable than Those of Omnivores" (Journal of Nutrition, Vol. 130, Pp. 1591-1596), S. Lu et al. compared the daily intake of nutrients by vegetarians and omnivores living in Taiwan. Among the nutrients considered was protein. Too little protein stunts growth and interferes with all bodily functions; too much protein puts a strain on the kidneys, can cause diarrhea and dehydration, and can leach calcium from bones and teeth. The daily protein intakes, in grams, for 51 female vegetarians and 53 female omnivores are provided on the Weiss Stats site. Use the technology of your choice to do the following for each of the two sets of sample data.

a. Obtain a histogram of the data and use it to assess the (approximate) normality of the variable under consideration.

b. Obtain a normal probability plot of the data and use it to assess the (approximate) normality of the variable under consideration.

c. Compare your results in parts (a) and (b).

Express the quartiles,Q1,Q2, and Q3, of a normally distributed variable in terms of its mean, 渭, and standard deviation, 蟽.

Under what circumstances is using a normal probability plot to assess the normality of a variable usually better than using a histogram, stem-and-leaf diagram, or dotplot?
