Find each of the following probabilities for the standard normal random variable z:

a.P(-z1)b.P(-1.96z1.96)c.P(-1645z1.645)d.P(-2z2)

Short Answer

Expert verified

a.P-1z1=0.6827b.P-1.96z1.96=0.95c.P-1.645z1.645=0.90d.P-2z2=0.9545

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

z is the standard normal variable.

02

Finding the probability when P(-1≤z≤1)

a.P-1z1=Pz1-Pz<-1=1--1=0.841345-0.158655=0.682689饾啅0.6827

From the standard normal table, we get this probabilityP-1z1=0.6827

Therefore, the required probability is 0.6827.

03

Finding the probability when P(-1.96≤z≤1.96)

b.

P-1.96z1.96=Pz1.96-Pz<-1.96=1.96-1.96=0.975002-0.024998=0.950004饾啅0.95

From the standard normal table, we get this probabilityP-1.96z1.96=0.95

Therefore, the required probability is 0.95.

04

Finding the probability when P(-1.645≤z≤1.645)

c.

P-1.645z1.645=Pz1.645-Pz<-1.645=1.645--1.645=0.950015-0.049985=0.90003饾啅0.90

From the standard normal table, we get this probabilityP-1.6451.645=0.90

Therefore, the required probability is 0.90.

05

Finding the probability when P(-2≤z≤2)

d.

P-2z2=Pz2-Pz<-2=2--2=0.97725-0.02275=0.9545

From the standard normal table, we get this probabilityP-2z2=0.9545

Therefore, the required probability is 0.9545.

4.131 Chemical composition of gold artifacts. The Journal of Open Archaeology Data(Vol. 1, 2012) provided data onthe chemical composition of more than 200 pre-Columbiangold and gold-alloy artifacts recovered in the archaeologicalregion inhabited by the Muisca of Colombia (a.d.600鈥1800). One of many variables measured was the percentageof copper present in the gold artifacts. Summary statisticsfor this variable follow: mean = 29.94%, median = 19.75%,standard deviation = 28.37%. Demonstrate why the probabilitydistribution for the percentage of copper in thesegold artifacts cannot be normally distributed.

Working on summer vacation. Recall (Exercise 3.13, p. 169) that a Harris Interactive (July 2013) poll found that 22% of U.S. adults do not work at all while on summer vacation. In a random sample of 10 U.S. adults, let x represent the number who do not work during summer vacation.

a. For this experiment, define the event that represents a 鈥渟uccess.鈥

b. Explain why x is (approximately) a binomial random variable.

c. Give the value of p for this binomial experiment.

d. Find P(x=3)

e. Find the probability that 2 or fewer of the 10 U.S. adults do not work during summer vacation.

Hotels鈥 use of ecolabels. Refer to the Journal of Vacation Marketing (January 2016) study of travelers鈥 familiarity with ecolabels used by hotels, Exercise 2.64 (p. 104). Recall that adult travelers were shown a list of 6 different ecolabels, and asked, 鈥淪uppose the response is measured on a continuous scale from 10 (not familiar at all) to 50 (very familiar).鈥 The mean and standard deviation for the Energy Star ecolabel are 44 and 1.5, respectively. Assume the distribution of the responses is approximately normally distributed.

a. Find the probability that a response to Energy Star exceeds 43.

b. Find the probability that a response to Energy Star falls between 42 and 45.

c. If you observe a response of 35 to an ecolabel, do you think it is likely that the ecolabel was Energy Star? Explain.

Compute the following:

a.7!3!(73)!

b.(94)

c. (50)

d.(44)

e.(54)


Give the z-score for a measurement from a normal distribution for the following:

a. 1 standard deviation above the mean

b. 1 standard deviation below the mean

c. Equal to the mean

d. 2.5 standard deviations below the mean

e. 3 standard deviations above the mean
