Chapter 2: Q T2.9. (page 149)

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that the exhaust of each model of motor vehicle be tested for the level of several pollutants. The level of oxides of nitrogen (NOX) in the exhaust of one light truck model was found to vary among individual trucks according to an approximately Normal distribution with mean 渭=1.45 grams per mile driven and standard deviation 蟽=0.40 gram per mile. Which of the following best estimates the proportion of light trucks of this model with NOX levels greater than 2 grams per mile?

a.0.0228b.0.0846c.0.4256d.0.9154e.0.9772

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (b) 0.0846

Step by step solution

01

Given information

渭=1.45蟽=0.40x=2

02

Concept

z=x鈭�渭蟽

03

Calculation

z=x鈭�渭蟽=2鈭�1.450.40=1.375

P(x>2)=P(z>1.375)=1鈭�P(z<1.375)=1鈭�0.91545=0.08455

As a result, 0.0846 of this model's light trucks had a NOX level greater than 2 grams per mile.

Hence, the correct option is (b)

a. Shape

b. Mean and median

c. Standard deviation and interquartile range (IQR)

Long jump Refer to Exercise 21 Suppose that the corrected long-jump

distances are converted from centimeters to meters (note that 100cm=1m ).

a. What shape would the resulting distribution have? Explain your answer.

b. Find the mean of the distribution of corrected long-jump distance in meters.

c. Find the standard deviation of the distribution of corrected long-jump distance in meters.

The army reports that the distribution of head circumference among male soldiers is approximately Normal with mean of 22.8inches and standard deviation 1.1inches.

(a) A male soldier whose head circumference is 23.9-inches would be at what percentile? Show your method clearly.

(b) The army鈥檚 helmet supplier regularly stocks helmets that fit male soldiers with head circumferences between 20and 26inches. Anyone with a head circumference outside that interval requires a customized helmet order. What percent of male soldiers require custom helmets? Show your work, including a well-labeled sketch of a Normal curve.

(c) Find the interquartile range for the distribution of head circumference among male soldiers. Show your method clearly.
