In China, four-year-olds average three hours a day unsupervised. Most of the unsupervised children live in rural areas, considered safe. Suppose that the standard deviation is 1.5 hours and the amount of time spent alone is normally distributed. We randomly select one Chinese four-year-old living in a rural area. We are interested in the amount of time the child spends alone per day.
a. In words, define the random variable X.
b. X ~ _____(_____,_____)
c. Find the probability that the child spends less than one hour per day unsupervised. Sketch the graph, and write the probability statement.
d. What percent of the children spend over ten hours per day unsupervised?
e. Seventy percent of the children spend at least how long per day unsupervised?
The patient recovery time from a particular surgical procedure is normally distributed with a mean of 5.3 days and a standard deviation of 2.1 days.
What is the z-score for a patient who takes ten days to recover?
a. 1.5
b. 0.2
c. 2.2
d. 7.3
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?
The patient recovery time from a particular surgical procedure is normally distributed with a mean of 5.3 days and a standard deviation of 2.1 days.
What is the probability of spending more than two days in recovery?
a. 0.0580
b. 0.8447
c. 0.0553
d. 0.9420
About what percent of values lie between the first and third standard deviations(both sides)?
