Use Table A to 铿乶d the value from the standard Normal distribution that satis铿乪s each of the following conditions. In each case, sketch a standard Normal curve with your value of marked on the axis. Use your calculator or the Normal Curve applet to check your answers.
Working backward
(a) The rd percentile.
(b) % of all observations are greater than .
R2.7 Standard Normal areas Use Table A to find the proportion of observations from a standard Normal distribution that falls in each of the following regions. In each case, sketch a standard Normal curve and shade the area representing the region.

R2.4 Aussie, Aussie, Aussie A group of Australian students were asked to estimate the width of their classroom in feet. Use the dot plot and summary statistics below to answer the following questions.
(a) Suppose we converted each student's guess from feet to meters . How would the shape of the distribution be affected? Find the mean, median, standard deviation, and IQR for the transformed data.
(b) The actual width of the room was feet. Suppose we calculated the error in each student's guess as follows: guess . Find the mean and standard deviation of the errors. How good were the students' guesses? Justify your answer.
Approximately locate the median (equal-areas point) and the mean (balance point) on a density curve.
Length of pregnancies The length of human pregnancies from conception to birth varies according to a distribution that is approximately Normal with mean of days and standard deviation ofdays. For each part, follow the four-step process.
(a) At what percentile is a pregnancy that lasts days (that鈥檚 about months)?
(b) What percent of pregnancies last between and days (roughly between months and months)?
(c) How long do the longest % of pregnancies last?
SAT versus ACT Eleanor scores on the SAT Mathematics test. The distribution of SAT scores is
symmetric and single-peaked, with mean and standard deviation . Gerald takes the American College Testing (ACT) Mathematics test and scores 27. ACT scores also follow a symmetric, singlepeaked distribution鈥攂ut with mean and standard deviation . Find the standardized scores for both students. Assuming that both tests measure the same kind of ability, who has the higher score?
