Chapter 6: Q. 6.86 (page 276)

Briefly, for a normally distributed variable, how do you obtain the percentage of all possible observations that lie within a specified range?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Step 1: The connected variable's normal curve is drawn.

Step 2: The region of interest is shaded, and the x-value(s) noted

Step 3: The z-score(s) are calculated.

Step 4: Using the standard normal table, get the area under the standard normal curve.

Step by step solution

01

Concept introduction

The quantity of one variable in algebraic equations is typically reliant on the position of another. If the data tuple isn't declared precisely, the variable's beginning value reflects the default value.

02

Explanation

First, determine the equivalent area under the standard normal curve by expressing the range in terms of z-scores.

The steps are as follows:

Step 1: The connected variable's normal curve is drawn.

Step 2: The region of interest is shaded, and the x-value(s) that define it are noted.

Step 3: Calculate the z-score(s) for the delimiting x-value(s).

Step 4: Using the standard normal table, get the area under the standard normal curve delimited by the z-score(s).

6.31 Waiting for the Train. A commuter train arrives punctually at a station every half hour. Each morning, a commuter named John leaves his house and casually strolls to the train station. The time, in minutes, that John waits for the train is a variable with density curve y=1/30for 0<x<30, and y=0 otherwise.
a. Graph the density curve of this variable.
b. Show that the area under this density curve to the left of any number xbetween 0 and 30 equals x/30.

What percentage of the time does John wait for the train
c. less than 5 minutes?
d. between 10 and 15 minutes?
e. at least 20 minutes?

What is a density curve, and why are such curves important?

Giant Tarantulas. One of the larger species of tarantulas is the Grammostola mollicoma, whose common name is the Brazilian giant tawny red. A tarantula has two body parts. The anterior part of the body is covered above by a shell, or carapace. From a recent article by F. Costa and F. Perez-Miles titled "Reproductive Biology of Uruguayan Theraphosids" (The Journal of A rachutology, Vol. 30 , No. 3, pp. 571-587), we find that the carapace length of the adult male G. mollicoma is normally distributed with mean 18.14mm and standard deviation 1.76mm.

a. Find the percentage of adult male G. mollicoma that have carapace length between 16mm and 17mm.

b. Find the percentage of adult male G. mollicoma that have carapace length cxcceding 19mm.

c. Determine and interpret the quartiles for carapace length of the adult male G. mollicoma.

d. Obtain and interpret the 95th percentile for carapace length of the adult male G. mollicoma.

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.
