Chapter 6: Q. 25 (page 385)

Suppose a normal distribution has a mean of six and a standard deviation of 1.5. What is the z-score of x = 5.5?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of thezscore is-0.33

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given in the question that, a normal distribution has a mean of six and a standard deviation of 1.5

The value of x=5.5

We have to find the value ofzscore

02

Explanation 

According to the given information,

X~N(6,1.5)

Where,

渭=6

蟽=1.5

x=5.5

We can compute the zscore value as follow:

z=x鈭�渭蟽

Place the given values in the above equation:

z=5.5鈭�61.5

=鈭�0.51.5

鈮�鈭�0.33

The life of Sunshine CD players is normally distributed with a mean of 4.1years and a standard deviation of 1.3years. A CD player is guaranteed for three years. We are interested in the length of time a CD player lasts. Find the probability that a CD player will break down during the guarantee period.

a. Sketch the situation. Label and scale the axes. Shade the region corresponding to the probability.

b. P(0<x<____________)=___________(Use zero for the minimum value of x.)

In a normal distribution, x = 鈥�2 and z = 6. This tells you that x = 鈥�2 is ____ standard deviations to the ____ (right or left) of the mean.
