Find a value of the standard normal random variable z, call itz0 such that

a.P(-z0鈮�z鈮�z0)=.98b.P(z鈮�z0)=.05c.P(z鈮�z0)=.70d.P(z鈮�z0)=.025e.P(z鈮�z0)=.70

Short Answer

Expert verified

a.z0=2.326b.z0=1.645c.z0=-0.524d.z0=1.96e.z0=0.524

Step by step solution

01

Given information

z is a standard normal variable, which is calledz0.

02

Finding the value of z0 when P(-z0≤z≤z0)=.98 

a.P-z0鈮�z鈮�z0=0.982P0鈮�z鈮�z0=0.98DuetosymmetricdistrubutionP0鈮�z鈮�z0=0.49Pz鈮�z0-Pz<0=0.49Pz鈮�z0-0.50=0.49Pz鈮�z0=0.99桅z0=0.99z0=桅-10.99z0=2.326

Therefore, the z0the score is 2.326.

03

Finding the value of z0 when P(z≥z0)=.05

b.

Pz鈮�z0=0.051-Pz<z0=0.05Pz<z0=0.95桅z0=0.95z0=桅-10.95z0=1.645

Therefore, the z0 score is 1.645.

04

Finding the value of z0 when P(z≥z0)=.70

c.

Pz鈮�z0=0.701-Pz鈮�z0=0.70Pz鈮�z0=0.30

Therefore, the score is -0.524.

05

Finding the value of z0 when P(z≥z0)=.70

d.Pz鈮�z0=0.0251-Pz<z0=0.025Pz<z0=0.975桅z0=0.975z0=桅-10.975z0=1.96

Therefore, the z0 score is 1.96.

06

Finding the value z0 of when P(z≤z0)=.70

e.Pz鈮�z0=0.70桅z0=0.70z0=桅-10.70z0=0.524

Therefore, the z0 score is 0.524.

USGA golf ball specifications. According to the US. Golf Association (USGA), "The diameter of the [golf] ball must not be less than 1.680 inches" (USGA, 2016). The USGA periodically checks the specifications of golf balls by randomly sampling balls from pro shops around the country. Two dozen of each kind are sampled, and if more than three do not meet requirements, that kind of ball is removed from the USGA's approved-ball list.

  1. What assumptions must be made and what information must be known in order to use the binomial probability distribution to calculate the probability that the USGA will remove a particular kind of golf ball from its approved-ball list?
  2. Suppose 10% of all balls produced by a particular manufacturer are less than 1.680 inches in diameter and assume that the number of such balls, x, in a sample of two dozen balls can be adequately characterized by a binomial probability distribution. Find the mean and standard deviation of the binomial distribution.
  3. Refer to part b. If x has a binomial distribution, then so does the number, y, of balls in the sample that meet the USGA's minimum diameter. [Note: x + y = 24] Describe the distribution of y. In particular, what are p, q and n? Also, find E(y) and the standard deviation of y.

Shear strength of rock fractures. Understanding the characteristics

of rock masses, especially the nature of the fracturesis essential when building dams and power plants.The shear strength of rock fractures was investigated inEngineering Geology(May 12, 2010). The Joint RoughnessCoefficient (JRC) was used to measure shear strength.Civil engineers collected JRC data for over 750 rock fractures.The results (simulated from information provided in the article) are summarized in the accompanying SPSShistogram. Should the engineers use the normal probabilitydistribution to model the behavior of shear strength forrock fractures? Explain

Suppose x is a binomial random variable with p = .4 and n = 25.

a. Would it be appropriate to approximate the probability distribution of x with a normal distribution? Explain.

b. Assuming that a normal distribution provides an adequate approximation to the distribution of x, what are the mean and variance of the approximating normal distribution?

c. Use Table I in Appendix D to find the exact value of P(x鈮�9).

d. Use the normal approximation to find P(x鈮�9).

The random variable x has a normal distribution with 渭=1000 and 蟽=10.

a. Find the probability that x assumes a value more than 2 standard deviations from its mean. More than 3 standard deviations from .渭

b. Find the probability that x assumes a value within 1 standard deviation of its mean. Within 2 standard deviations of 渭.

c. Find the value of x that represents the 80th percentile of this distribution. The 10th percentile.

Tax returns audited by the IRS. According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the chances of your tax return being audited are about 1 in 100 if your income is less than \(1 million and 9 in 100 if your income is \)1 million or more (IRS Enforcement and Services Statistics).

  1. What is the probability that a taxpayer with income less than \(1 million will be audited by the IRS with income \)1 million or more?
  2. If five taxpayers with incomes under \(1 million are randomly selected, what is the probability that exactly one will be audited? That more than one will be audited?
  3. Repeat part b, assuming that five taxpayers with incomes of \)1 million or more are randomly selected.
  4. If two taxpayers with incomes under \(1 million are randomly selected, and two with incomes more than \)1 million are randomly selected, what is the probability that none of these taxpayers will be audited by the IRS?
  5. What assumptions did you have to make in order to answer these questions using the methodology presented in this section?
