IN THIS CASE OUR GROUPS WILL BE: STD DEV 2.17 IN A NORMAL DISTRIBUTION THE MEAN, MEDIAN AND MODE ARE ALL THE SAME NUMBER X-VALUES Z-VALUES GROUP NUMBER OF DATA POINTS IN IT 2 -1.84 2.0-2.9 2 2 -1.84 3.0-3.9 3 7 3 -1.38 4.0-4.9 4 6 3 -1.38 5.0-5.9 5 3 -1.38 6.0-6.9 6 5 4 -0.92 7.0-7.9 5 4 -0.92 8.0-8.9 4 4 4 -0.92 9.0-9.9 3 3 4 -0.92 10.0-10.9 2 5 -0.46 2 5 -0.46 5 -0.46 1 5 -0.46 5 -0.46 0 12 23 34 45 78 6 0.00 X-VALUES: 65 76 (3.83) 6 0.00 98 109 6 6 6 6 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 7 0.46 7 7 7 0.46 0.46 0.46 Z-VALUES ARE CALCULATED AND SHOW THE NUMBER OF STANDARD DEVIATIONS A DATA POINT (OR GROUP OF DATA POINTS) IS FROM THE MEAN Z = ( X - MEAN) / STD DEV OF COURSE IF YOU HAVE A Z-VALUE YOU CAN BACK CALCULATE TO GET THE X-VALUE: X = Z TIMES THE STD DEV + THE MEAN AS AN EXAMPLE USE THE Z-VALUE OF +0.46 TO SEE WHAT X-VALUE IT REPRESENTS: X = 0.46 x 2.17 + 6.0 = 7.0 7 8 8 8 8 9 9 9 0.46 0.92 0.92 0.92 0.92 1.38 1.38 1.38 SIMILARLY THE X-VALUE (OR GROUP) THAT IS -1 STANDARD DEVIATION BELOW THE MEAN (Z = -1) WOULD BE: X = 1 x 2.17 + 6.0 = 3.83 WHILE THE SHAPE OF OUR EARLIER GRAPH WAS RECTANGULAR, THIS GRAPH HAS A BELL SHAPE, REFERRED TO AS THE "NORMAL" DISTRIBUTION. AND, AS WITH THE RECTANGULAR GRAPH THE AREA SHOWN IN THIS GRAPH REPRESENTS 100 % OF OUR DATA AND ANY PORTION OF IT REPRESENTS THE PERCENTAGE OF OUR DATA IN THAT AREA AS WELL AS THE PROBABILITY THAT SPECIFIC DATA ARE IN THAT REGION. HERE IS A MORE TYPICAL BELL CURVE GRAPH: TO CALCULATE THE AREA IN ANY SECTION OF THIS BELL CURVE GRAPH WE NEED TO KNOW THE EQUATION FOR THE LINE, AND THEN WE USE INTEGRAL CALCULUS TO CALCULATE THE AREA UNDER THAT CURVE FOR THE AREA SELECTED. n 10 10 1.84 1.84 Z-VALUES: -2 -1 0 +1 +2 THE X-VALUES ARE THE DATA POINTS AND WE HAVE GROUPED THEM AS SHOWN. x= 1 FORTUNATELY FOR US, THESE AREAS HAVE BEEN CALCULATED AND PUT INTO TABLES. THE HORIZONAL AXIS HAS THE Z-VALUES ON IT, WHICH ARE THE STANDARD DEVIATIONS FROM THE MEAN AND THE TABLE GIVES US THE AREA TO THE LEFT OF THAT Z-VALUE. (SEE & PRINT THE ATTACHED TABLES) TO GET THE AREA TO THE RIGHT WE MUST SUBTRACT THE TABLE VALUE FROM 1.0000 SINCE THE SUM OF BOTH AREAS EQUALS 100% OR 1.00 AS A DECIMAL. HERE ARE SOME "WORKED-OUT" AREAS: 68.3% OF THE AREA (OUR DATA VALUES) ARE WITHIN -1 AND +1 STANDARD DEVIATIONS FROM THE MEAN 95.4% OF THE AREA (OUR DATA VALUES) ARE WITHIN -2 AND +2 STANDARD DEVIATIONS FROM THE MEAN 99.7% OF THE AREA (OUR DATA VALUES) ARE WITHIN -3 AND +3 STANDARD DEVIATIONS FROM THE MEAN AN "UNUSUAL" VALUE IS CONSIDERED ONE THAT IS MORE THAN TWO STANDARD DEVAIONS FROM THE MEAN (Z = + 2) MORE SPECIFICALLY, THIS "UNUSAL" OR RARE EVENT AREA CORRESPONDS TO 5% OF THE GRAPH AREA ACCORDINGLY, THESE CRITICAL Z-VALUES ARE +1.645 ON THE RIGHT END AND -1.645 ON THE LEFT END OF THE GRAPH. SEE IF YOU CAN FIND THE AREA IN THE TABLE (0.05) FOR THESE Z-VALUES. .

( MEAN 6.0000 WHEN WE HAVE LARGE DATA SETS, WE GROUP THE DATA. IN THIS CASE OUR GROUPS WILL BE: STD DEV 2.17 IN A NORMAL DISTRIBUTION THE MEAN, MEDIAN AND MODE ARE ALL THE SAME NUMBER X-VALUES Z-VALUES GROUP NUMBER OF DATA POINTS IN IT 2 -1.84 2.0-2.9 2 2 -1.84 3.0-3.9 3 7 3 -1.38 4.0-4.9 4 6 3 -1.38 5.0-5.9 5 3 -1.38 6.0-6.9 6 5 4 -0.92 7.0-7.9 5 4 -0.92 8.0-8.9 4 4 4 -0.92 9.0-9.9 3 3 4 -0.92 10.0-10.9 2 5 -0.46 2 5 -0.46 5 -0.46 1 5 -0.46 5 -0.46 0 12 23 34 45 78 6 0.00 X-VALUES: 65 76 (3.83) 6 0.00 98 109 6 6 6 6 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 7 0.46 7 7 7 0.46 0.46 0.46 Z-VALUES ARE CALCULATED AND SHOW THE NUMBER OF STANDARD DEVIATIONS A DATA POINT (OR GROUP OF DATA POINTS) IS FROM THE MEAN Z = ( X - MEAN) / STD DEV OF COURSE IF YOU HAVE A Z-VALUE YOU CAN BACK CALCULATE TO GET THE X-VALUE: X = Z TIMES THE STD DEV + THE MEAN AS AN EXAMPLE USE THE Z-VALUE OF +0.46 TO SEE WHAT X-VALUE IT REPRESENTS: X = 0.46 x 2.17 + 6.0 = 7.0 7 8 8 8 8 9 9 9 0.46 0.92 0.92 0.92 0.92 1.38 1.38 1.38 SIMILARLY THE X-VALUE (OR GROUP) THAT IS -1 STANDARD DEVIATION BELOW THE MEAN (Z = -1) WOULD BE: X = 1 x 2.17 + 6.0 = 3.83 WHILE THE SHAPE OF OUR EARLIER GRAPH WAS RECTANGULAR, THIS GRAPH HAS A BELL SHAPE, REFERRED TO AS THE "NORMAL" DISTRIBUTION. AND, AS WITH THE RECTANGULAR GRAPH THE AREA SHOWN IN THIS GRAPH REPRESENTS 100 % OF OUR DATA AND ANY PORTION OF IT REPRESENTS THE PERCENTAGE OF OUR DATA IN THAT AREA AS WELL AS THE PROBABILITY THAT SPECIFIC DATA ARE IN THAT REGION. HERE IS A MORE TYPICAL BELL CURVE GRAPH: TO CALCULATE THE AREA IN ANY SECTION OF THIS BELL CURVE GRAPH WE NEED TO KNOW THE EQUATION FOR THE LINE, AND THEN WE USE INTEGRAL CALCULUS TO CALCULATE THE AREA UNDER THAT CURVE FOR THE AREA SELECTED. n 10 10 1.84 1.84 Z-VALUES: -2 -1 0 +1 +2 THE X-VALUES ARE THE DATA POINTS AND WE HAVE GROUPED THEM AS SHOWN. x= 1 FORTUNATELY FOR US, THESE AREAS HAVE BEEN CALCULATED AND PUT INTO TABLES. THE HORIZONAL AXIS HAS THE Z-VALUES ON IT, WHICH ARE THE STANDARD DEVIATIONS FROM THE MEAN AND THE TABLE GIVES US THE AREA TO THE LEFT OF THAT Z-VALUE. (SEE & PRINT THE ATTACHED TABLES) TO GET THE AREA TO THE RIGHT WE MUST SUBTRACT THE TABLE VALUE FROM 1.0000 SINCE THE SUM OF BOTH AREAS EQUALS 100% OR 1.00 AS A DECIMAL. HERE ARE SOME "WORKED-OUT" AREAS: 68.3% OF THE AREA (OUR DATA VALUES) ARE WITHIN -1 AND +1 STANDARD DEVIATIONS FROM THE MEAN 95.4% OF THE AREA (OUR DATA VALUES) ARE WITHIN -2 AND +2 STANDARD DEVIATIONS FROM THE MEAN 99.7% OF THE AREA (OUR DATA VALUES) ARE WITHIN -3 AND +3 STANDARD DEVIATIONS FROM THE MEAN AN "UNUSUAL" VALUE IS CONSIDERED ONE THAT IS MORE THAN TWO STANDARD DEVAIONS FROM THE MEAN (Z = + 2) MORE SPECIFICALLY, THIS "UNUSAL" OR RARE EVENT AREA CORRESPONDS TO 5% OF THE GRAPH AREA ACCORDINGLY, THESE CRITICAL Z-VALUES ARE +1.645 ON THE RIGHT END AND -1.645 ON THE LEFT END OF THE GRAPH. SEE IF YOU CAN FIND THE AREA IN THE TABLE (0.05) FOR THESE Z-VALUES. Wk4-HW4 Instructions WEEK 4 HOMEWORK: LANE CHAPTER 7 AND ILLOWSKY CHAPTERS 6 AND 7 THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION Z-TABLES ARE INCLUDED IN THE COURSE RESOURCES AND YOU ARE TO USE TH TO SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS. THIS IS STRAIGHT FORWARD TABLE READING. THIS WEEK'S CONCEPTS ARE REALLY THE HEART OF OUR COURSE. PROBABILITY (FROM LAST WEEK) IS THE STATISTICS (AND THEORETICAL PHYSICS - WATCH THE PBS SHOW \"PARTICLE FEVER\"). THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION AND THE AREAS UNDER PARTS OF IT ARE ALL WE ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IN THE AREAS IN THE TABLE THAT CORRESPOND TO SPECIFIC (CALCULATED) Z-VALUES. OUR DATA ARE THE X-VA Z-VALUES FROM THEM. WE CAN ALSO BACK-CALCULATE X-VALUES FROM Z-VALUES. LONG STORY SHORT: THERE ARE SPECIFIC Z-VALUES OF INTEREST REFERRED TO AS \"CRITICAL VALUES\" AND CORRESPOND TO SMALL (RARE) AREAS IN ONE OR BOTH \"TAILS\" OF OUR NORMAL DISTRIBUTION: 1%, 5% OR THE NORMAL CURVE. THESE ALREADY SMALL AREAS CAN ALSO BE SPLIT BETWEEN BOTH ENDS LEAVING 0.5 THE PERCENTAGES ARE OUR \"SIGNIFICANCE LEVELS\" AND WE CHOSE ONE BASED ON HOW SURE WE WANT T 90%, 95% OR 99% (CORRESPONDING TO THE AREAS OF 10%, 5% AND 1%) NON-TEXT PROBLEM #1: LOOK THESE Z-VALUES UP FOR THESE AREAS: + 1%, + 5%, + 10% AND + 0.5%, + 2.5% THE + 5%) AND WRITE THEM DOWN AS THEY DON'T CHANGE. THE Z-VALUES ON THE LEFT END ARE NEGATIVE END ARE POSITIVE. HERE IS HOW WE USE THESE Z-VALUES TO SEE IF OUR DATA ARE IN THE \"RARE\" OR \"UNUSUAL\" AREAS TO THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION. WHY DO WE CARE IF DATA ARE RARE? YOU WILL SEE. LET'S START WITH OUR QUANTITATIVE, CONTINUOUS DATA VALUES (REFERRED TO AS THE X-VALUES). WE NE OUR X-VALUE: [Z = (X - MEAN) / STD DEV ]. THIS Z-VALUE IS SIMPLY THE NUMBER OF STANDARD DEVIATIONS O MEAN. NOW, WE COMPARE OUR CALCULATED Z-VALUE (REFERRED TO AS THE \"TEST STATISTIC\") TO OUR CRITICAL V SIGNIFICANCE LEVEL WE CHOSE). IF THE TEST STATISTIC IS GREATER THAN THE POSITIVE (+) CRITICAL Z-VALUE WE ARE IN THE \"UNUSUAL\" OR R OF THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION. IF IT IS LESS THAN THE NEGATIVE (-) CRITICAL VALUE IT ALSO IN THE RARE A THIS IS THE WAY WE TEST A HYPOTHESIS, AS YOU WILL LEARN IN LATER CHAPTERS. IF OUR TEST STATISTIC E REJECT OUR HYPOTHESIS, IF NOT WE ACCEPT IT. BUT, KEEP IN MIND THAT \"ACCEPTING' DOES NOT MEAN \"PR NOTHING BY ITSELF. IT SIMPLY ADDS SUPPORT TO OTHER INFORMATION. LET'S GET BACK TO THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION. THE EXCEL PAGE ATTACHED PROVIDES AN EXAMPLE O SURE IT MAKES SENSE TO YOU. NOW, LET'S MOVE ON TO THIS WEEK'S HOMEWORK: LANE (C7) FIRST PROBLEM #8 THIS IS A STRAIGHT FORWARD Z CALCULATION. THIS Z-VALUE (SCORE) TELLS YOU HOW MANY S OF 65 IS FROM THE MEAN (IN THIS CASE IT'S A NEGATIVE DISTANCE, MEANING IT'S BELOW THE MEAN). USE TH SOFTWARE) TO FIND THIS AREA (NEGATIVE - Z-VALUES) AND REMEMBER TOO THAT THE TABLES GIVE THE ARE VALUE. TO GET THE AREAS TO THE RIGHT (BUT NOT NEEDED IN THIS PROBLEM) YOU SIMPLY SUBTRACT THE A SINCE THE AREA UNDER THE NORMAL CURVE ACCOUNTS FOR 100% OR 1.00 OF THE DATA. KEEP IN MIND THAT THESE \"AREAS\" ARE THE PERCENTAGE OF DATA BELOW YOUR SPECIFIC X-VALUE AND A (RELATIVE FREQUENCY) OF DATA BEING IN THAT AREA. THIS IS THE HEART OF IT. AS AN EXAMPLE, TO READ THE TABLE FOR A Z-SCORE OF +1.31 GO TO THE TABLE OF POSITIVE Z-SCORES AND AND THEN GO OVER TO THE 0.01 ON THE TOP AND GET THE READING FROM THE TABLE. IT'S 0.9049. IF YOU H THE OTHER TABLE. WHAT IF YOU HAVE 1.315? GET THE AREAS FOR 1.31 AND 1.32 AND IN OUR CASE SIMPLY A BETWEEN THEM. BACK TO THE AREA OF 0.9049, THIS AREA MEANS THAT 90.49% OF OUR DATA ARE BELOW THE DATA POINT THAT OF 1.31. IT ALSO MEANS THAT THERE IS A 90.49% PROBABILITY THAT A DATA POINT WILL BE IN THAT AREA BELO CONVERSELY, ABOUT 9.5% WILL BE ABOVE IT (100% - 90.49% = 9.5%). MAKE SENSE? PART B IN THIS PROBLEM WE USE AN EVEN SMALLER PERCENTAGE (LESS THAN 1%, BUT YOU NEED TO CALCU UNDER THE CURVE) PART C IS A LITTLE TRICKIER. NOTE THAT THE PROBLEM STATES THAT ONLY 10% BE OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. PERCENTAGE UNDER A SPECIFIC Z-VALUE. SO, IF 10% ARE OVER, THAN MEANS THAT 90% ARE UNDER. FIND T (+TABLE) CORRESPONDING (NEAREST NUMBER) TO 90%. ONCE YOU HAVE THAT Z-VALUE YOU CAN BACK-CAL VALUE, WHICH IS THE SPEED OF THE CAR. (THE FORMULA IS THE Z = (X-MEAN)/STD DEV SO USE ALGEBRA TO PART D - THE DISTRIBUTION (SHAPE OF THE CURVE) IS ACTUALLY SKEWED NOT BELL SHAPED, TELL ME IF IT'S SKEW. PROBLEM #11: ANOTHER TRICKY ONE. THE \"TOP 30%\" ARE THE ONES TO THE RIGHT SO WE NEED THE Z-VALU 70% OF THE AREA BEING BELOW IT. ONCE YOU HAVE FOUND THAT Z-SCORE, BACK-CALCULATE THE ACTUAL X NECESSARY SCORE ASKED FOR. USE THE SAME PROCEDURE FOR PART B (5% ABOVE MEANS 95% BELOW) PROBLEM #12: PARTS \"a\" IS FAIRLY STRAIGHT FORWARD, BUT PART \"b\" IS VERY TEDIOUS. THIS PROBLEM INVO DISTRIBUTION (THE BELL CURVE ) WHICH IS CONTINUOUS TO APPROXIMATE THE BINOMIAL WHICH IS DISCRET BINOMIAL HAS JUST TWO OPTIONS (LIKE HEADS/TAILS). THE NORMAL DEALS WITH CONTINUOUS DATA. WE WANT THE PROBABILITY OF GETTING 15 TO 18 HEADS OUT OF 25 COIN FLIPS. IF YOU LOOK AT THE HISTOG BELL SHAPE YOU SEE THAT EACH COLUMN IS CENTERED ON THE 1, 2, 3 ETC. THIS MEANS THAT FOR A VALUE RANGE OF 1.5 TO 2.5. DO YOU SEE THIS? OK SO HERE IS WHAT WE DO TO USE THE NORMAL TO APPROXIMAT FIRST: WE NEED TO CALCULATE THE MEAN, WHICH HERE EQUALS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF DATA POINTS (IN TH PROBABILITY OF GETTING A PARTICULAR RESULT (LIKE A HEAD), IN THIS CASE 50/50 OR 0.5. THE VARIANCE EQ DATA POINTS TIMES THE FIRST PROBABILITY (GETTING HEADS), WHICH IS 0.5 TIMES THE PROBABILITY OF NOT 0.5) YOU CAN SEE THAT WE COULD HAVE DIFFERENT PROBABILITIES, FOR EXAMPLE IF THE COIN WERE WEIG BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE HERE. ONCE WE CALCULATE THIS VARIANCE, THE STANDARD DEVIATION IS SIMPL VARIANCE. WE NOW HAVE OUR SAMPLE MEAN AND STANDARD DEVIATION FOR OUR BINOMIAL. TO GET PROBABILITIES FROM OUR TABLES WE NEED Z-VALUES. WE WANT THE PROBABILITY OF GETTING 15 T TOSSES. BUT, SINCE THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION IS CONTINUOUS, THE 15 GOES FROM 14.5 TO 15.5 AND 18 GO OUR RANGE WHEN USING THE NORMAL TO APPROXIMATE THIS BINOMIAL IS 14.5 UP TO ____? NOW, CALCULA TWO LIMITS. FROM THESE Z-VALUE WE GO TO THE TABLE AND FIND THE AREAS TO THE LEFT CORRESPONDING TO THEM. AREA BETWEEN THESE TWO LIMITS WE MUST SUBTRACT THE LOWER AREA FROM THE UPPER AREA. IS THIS C PICTURES TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON. PART B: INVOLVES THE ACTUAL BINOMIAL EQUATION. THE BINOMIAL GRAPH IS NOT CONTINUOUS BUT WILL H POSSIBILITY, IN THIS CASE 15, 16, 17, AND 18 HEADS. WE NEED TO USE THE COMPLEX BINOMIAL FORMULA TH FOR PROBLEM LANE CHAPTER 5 #25. CHECK IT OUT. WE MUST USE THAT FORMULA TO GET THE PROBABILITY FOR EACH OF THESE FOUR POSSIBILITIES AND THEN TO DO THE MATH (CORRECTLY) ON THIS ONE FOR 0.5 BONUS POINTS, SHOW ME YOUR SET UPS AND CALCULA 0.2049). ANSWER THIS FOR PART B: HOW DOES THE TRUE BINOMIAL CALCULATION RESULT OF 0.2049 COMPARE TO TH THE BINOMIAL (FROM PART A)? BY WHAT PERCENTAGE IS THE APPROXIMATION OFF? ILLOWSKY CHAPTER 6 PROBLEM #60 THE EASY SOLUTION IS THAT SINCE THIS IS A NORMAL DISTRIBUTION, THE MEAN, MEDIAN AND NUMBER. SO, IF THE MEAN IS 5.3, THEN THE MEDIAN IS 5.3. BUT, I WANT YOU TO DO THIS USING THE Z-TABLES OF THE \"MEDIAN\". WHAT PERCENT OF OUR DATA POINTS ARE ABOVE AND BELOW THE MEDIAN? USING THE P THE AREA TO THE LEFT) GO TO THE TABLE AND GET THE Z-VALUE THAT CORRESPONDS TO THAT AREA. USING AND SD, BACK CALCULATE THE X-VALUE. 60. What is the median recovery time? a. 2.7 b. 5.3 c. 7.4 d. 2.1 PROBLEM #66: USE THE FORMULA FOR Z: Z = (X-u)/s AND EXPLAIN WHAT THE RESULT MEANS. 66. Height and weight are two measurements used to track a child's development. TheWorld Health Organization measures child development by comparing the weights of children who are the same height and the same gender. In 2009, weights for all 80 cm girls in the reference population had a mean = 10.2 kg and standard deviation = 0.8 kg. Weights are normally distributed. X ~ N(10.2, 0.8). Calculate the z-scores that correspond to the following weights and interpret them. a. 11 kg b. 7.9 kg c. 12.2 kg PROBLEM #76: DO THE MATH AND READ THE TABLE NOT SOFTWARE. SKIP \"a\" (b) IT ASKS FOR \"LESS\" THAN SO IT'S THE VALUE (AREA) IN THE TABLE. CALCULATE THE Z-SCORE AND READ (WHICH IS THE PROBABILITY OR PERCENTAGE BELOW 220). (c) THE 80TH PERCENTILE SIMPLY MEANS 80% OF THE AREA (TO THE LEFT). THIS MEANS THAT 80% OF THE BAS THIS DISTANCE. FIND THE Z-VALUE CORRESPONDING TO 0.80 IN THE TABLE AND BACK-CALCULATE THE X-VAL SOFTWARE. 76. Suppose that the distance of fly balls hit to the outfield (in baseball) is normally distributed with a mean of 250 feet and a standard deviation of 50 feet. a. If X = distance in feet for a fly ball, then X ~ _____(_____,_____) b. If one fly ball is randomly chosen from this distribution, what is the probability that this ball traveled fewer than 220 feet? Sketch the graph. Scale the horizontal axis X. Shade the region corresponding to the probability. Find the probability. c. Find the 80th percentile of the distribution of fly balls. Sketch the graph, and write the probability statement. PROBLEM #88: TRICKY. CALCULATE THE Z-SCORE FOR 30%. FIND THE AREA IN THE TABLE THAT CORRESPON LEAST 30\" MEANS THAT WE DON'T WANT THE AREA TO THE LEFT WHICH WOULD BE THOSE SCORES LESS THA TO THE RIGHT (THOSE SCORES GREATER THAN 30%). SO, SINCE OUR TABLES ONLY GIVE AREAS TO THE LEFT (OR 100%). PIECE OF CAKE. (b) 95TH PERCENTILE MEANS THAT 95% OF OUR DATA ARE IN THIS AREA. FIND THE Z-VALUE THAT CORRESPON TO A X-VALUE WHICH IN THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO A PERCENTAGE SO IT'S A LITTLE CONFUSING. 88. Facebook provides a variety of statistics on its Web site that detail the growth and popularity of the site. On average, 28 percent of 18 to 34 year olds check their Facebook profiles before getting out of bed in the morning. Suppose this percentage follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of five percent. CHAPTER 6 | THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION 367 a. Find the probability that the percent of 18 to 34-year-olds who check Facebook before getting out of bed in the morning is at least 30. b. Find the 95th percentile, and express it in a sentence ILLOWSKY CHAPTER 7 PAGE 375 DISCUSSES THE CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM AND SHOWS THE FORMULAS WE WILL BE USING (NOT SO SAYS THAT IF WE TAKE THE MEANS OF MULTIPLE SAMPLES FROM THE SAME POPULATION, THOSE MEANS WIL REGARDLESS OF THE ACTUAL SHAPE OF THE ACTUAL POPULATION'S DISTRIBUTION.. PROBLEM #62: USE THE FORMULAS ON PAGE 400 (TEXT PAGE) FOR THIS ONE. IT'S THE SAME PROCEDURE AS FOR THE STD DEV, HENCE Z IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT, BUT THE SAME TABLES ARE USED. 62. Suppose that the distance of fly balls hit to the outfield (in baseball) is normally distributed with a mean of 250 feet and a standard deviation of 50 feet. We randomly sample 49 fly balls. a. If X = average distance in feet for 49 fly balls, then X ~ _______(_______,_______) b. What is the probability that the 49 balls traveled an average of less than 240 feet? Sketch the graph. Scale the horizontal axis for X . Shade the region corresponding to the probability. Find the probability. c. Find the 80th percentile of the distribution of the average of 49 fly balls.. PROBLEM #70: PAY ATTENTION TO ALL THE CHOICES THAT ARE CORRECT AS WELL. REMEMBER THEM. 70. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the distribution for averages? a. The mean, median, and mode are equal. b. The area under the curve is one. c. The curve never touches the x-axis. d. The curve is skewed to the right. PROBLEM #96: DO THE MATH, READ THE TABLES NOT SOFTWARE. SIMPLY CALCULATE THE Z-SCORES FOR 85 FORMULAS AND GET THE AREAS (PROBABILITIES/PERCENTAGES) FROM THE TABLES (THESE AREAS ARE VERY SUBTRACT THE AREA FOR 85 FROM THAT FOR 125 TO GET THE AREA BETWEEN THEM. THIS AREA IS THE PERC ASKED FOR. (IT'S BIG) 96. A typical adult has an average IQ score of 105 with a standard deviation of 20. If 20 randomly selected adults are given an IQ tesst, what is the probability that the sample mean scores will be between 85 and 125 points? \f
