a) 0.0668 = 6.68% probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm.
b) 0.0062 = 0.62% probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm
c) 0.9270 = 92.70% probability that the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
1)
We have that
a) x is less than 60
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 60.
has a pvalue of 0.9706
0.9706 = 97.06% probability that x is less than 60.
b) x is greater than 16
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16.
has a pvalue of 0.0013.
1 - 0.0013 = 0.9987
0.9987 = 99.87% probability that x is greater than 16.
c) x is between 16 and 60
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 60 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16.
From a), Z when X = 60 has a pvalue of 0.9706.
From b), Z when X = 16 has a pvalue of 0.0013
0.9706 - 0.0013 = 0.9693
0.9693 = 96.93% probability that x is between 16 and 60.
d) x is more than 60
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 60.
From a), Z when X = 60 has a pvalue of 0.9706.
1 - 0.9706 = 0.0294
0.0294 = 2.94% probability that x is more than 60.
2)
Now
a) the thickness is less than 3.0 mm
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 3.
has a pvalue of 0.0668
0.0668 = 6.68% probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm.
b) the thickness is more than 7.0 mm
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 7.
has a pvalue of 0.9938.
1 - 0.9938 = 0.0062
0.0062 = 0.62% probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm
c) the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm.
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 7 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3.
From b), Z when X = 7 has a pvalue of 0.9938.
From a), Z when X = 3 has a pvalue of 0.0668
0.9938 - 0.0668 = 0.9270
0.9270 = 92.70% probability that the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For a male student who has a measured pulse rate of 52 beats per minute.
Raw Score, X =52 beats per minute.
Therefore:
Since the usual pulse rates are within 2 standard deviations of the mean, a z-score of -1.49 tells us that the selected student's pulse rate is within the usual pulse rates.
