14. Explain how to use Table II to determine the area under the standard normal curve that lies

a. to the left of a specified z-score.

b. to the right of a specified z-score.

c. between two specified z-scores.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The first step is to identify the appropriate table. From the table, note the area.

b. One minus the area acquired from the table equals the area right to the z score.

c. The area is in the middle of two z scores: large area - small area.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information 

Use Table II to determine the area under the standard normal curve that lies to the left of a specified z-score.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

Suppose you have a z-score of 1and the area under the standardized curve is to the left.

The first step is to identify the table for a particular area.

The area is directly determined by the table.

03

Part (b) Step 3: Given Information

To demonstrate how to find the area under the standard normal curve that lies between two

specified z-scores using table II.

04

Part (b) Step 4: Explanation

Imagine the statement, "the area under the standardized curve is equal to the provided z-score."

One minus the area acquired from the table equals the area right to the z-score.

05

Part (c) Step 5: Given Information

To demonstrate how to find the area under the standard normal curve that exists between two z- scores using table II.

06

Part (c) Step 6: Explanation

"Area under the standardized curve lies between two z-scores" is an example.

To begin, read the area directly for two z-scores and remove them.

27. Lower Limb Surgery. The study "Intrathecal Sufentanil versus Fentanyl for Lower Limb Surgeries - A Randomized Controlled Trial" (Journal of Anesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, Vol. 27 . Issue 1. pp. 67-73) by P. Motiani et al. compares two different agents, intrathecal Sufentanil and fentanyl, used in enhancing the anesthesiology of patients receiving major lower limb surgery. One variable compared between the two agents was the amount of blood loss during the surgery. Based on the study, we will assume that using fentanyl, the amount of blood loss during major lower limb surgery is normally distributed with mean 283.3mland standard deviation 83.3ml. Find the percentage of patients whose amount of blood loss during major lower limb surgery using fentanyl is

a. Less than 304ml.

b. Between 221and429ml

c. More than450ml.

31. Mortgage Industry Employees. In an issue of National Mortgage News, a special report was published on publicly traded mortgage industry companies. A sample of 25mortgage industry companies had the following numbers of employees.

a. Obtain a normal probability plot of the data.
b. Use part (a) to identify any outliers.
c. Use part (a) to assess the normality of the variable under consideration.

The area under a density curve that lies to the left of 60 is 0.364. What percentage of all possible observations of the variable are

a. Less than 60?

b. At least 60?

11. Answer true or false to each statement. Explain your answers.

a. Two normal distributions that have the same mean are centered at the same place, regardless of the relationship between their standard deviations.

b. Two normal distributions that have the same standard deviation have the same spread, regardless of the relationship between their means.

Briefly, for a normally distributed variable, how do you obtain the percentage of all possible observations that lie within a specified range?
