Statistics
Calculate the zz-score that marks the cutoff for the top 10%10\% of the standard normal distribution.
Given the data for the systolic blood pressure of adult women with a mean of 122 mmHg122 \text{ mmHg} and a standard deviation of 14 mmHg14 \text{ mmHg}, assuming a normal distribution, find the probability that an adult woman has a systolic blood pressure less than 108 mmHg108\text{ mmHg}.
Using a TI-84 graphing calculator, how would you calculate the probability that a z-score is less than -1.25?
A group of 6060 students took a chemistry quiz. The histogram for their scores is shown:
Four midpoints, AA, BB, CC, and DD, are marked on the histogram at scores of 4545, 6060, 6565, and 7575, respectively. Which of the four midpoints reasonably corresponds to a zz-score of 2.182.18?
Scores on a standardized math test are normally distributed with a mean of 7070 and a standard deviation of 1010. A randomly selected student scored 5555 on the test.
(a) What is the zz-score corresponding to the student’s score?
(b) Based on the zz-score, would this score be considered unusual?
Determine the indicated zz-score in the following graph:
A study finds that 29%29\% of university freshmen own a car. If you randomly select 1515 freshmen, what is the probability that fewer than 55 of them own a car? Decide whether or not applying the normal approximation is suitable for this case, and if using it is possible. Is this event considered unusual?
