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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The percentage of all observations of the variable is =36.4%.

b. The percentage of all observations of the variable is=63.6%.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information 

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

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

The percentage of all possible observations of the variable that fall inside the specified range, represented as a percentage of the corresponding area under the curve.

The variable has a percentage of all possible observations of less than 60.

=0.364×100

=36.4%

Hence, the percentage of all observations of the variable is =36.4%.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information 

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

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation 

The percentage of all possible observations of the variable that fall inside the specified range, represented as a percentage of the corresponding area under the curve.

The probability of at least 60potential observations of the variable is

=1-0.364

=0.636

Calculate the probability percentages.

=0.636×100

=63.6%

Hence, the percentage of all observations of the variable is 63.6%.=63.6%

In 1902, W. R. Macdonell published the article "On Criminal Anthropometry and the Identification of Criminals" (Biometrika, Vol. 1. Pp. 177-227). Among other things. the author presented data on the left middle finger length, in centimeters. The following table provides the midpoints and frequencies of the finger-length classes used.

Use these data and the technology of your choice to assess the normality of middle finger length of criminals by using

a. a histogram.

b. a normal probability plot.

Use Table to obtain the areas under the standard normal curve. Sketch a standard normal curve and shade the area of interest in each problem.

Find the area under the standard normal curve that lies

a. either to the left of -2.12or to the right of 1.67.

b. either to the left of 0.63or to the right of 1.54.

Arterial Cord path. Umbilical cord blood analysis immediately after delivery is one way to measure the health of an infant after birth. Researchers G. Natalucci et al used it as a predictor of brain maturation of preterm infants in the article "Functional Brain

Maturation Assessed During Early Life Correlates with Anatomical Brain Maturation at Term-Equivalent Age in Preterm Infants " (Proly. are Resend, Vol. 74. No. 1. pp. 68-74). Based on this study. we will assume that, for preterm infants, the pH level of the arterial cord (one vessel in the umbilical cord) is normally distributed with a mean of 7.32 and a standard deviation of 0.1. Find the percentage of preterm infants who have arterial cord pH levels

a. between 7.0 and 7.5.

b. over 7.4.

State two of the main reasons for studying the normal distribution.

Obtain the z-score for which the area under the standard normal curve to its left is0.025.
