Step by step solution

01

Part a Step 1. Given information

We need to find the area for the given values between them.

02

Part a Step 2. Let us analyze the give values and find the area for it.

The area under the standard normal curve that lies between -0.88and 2.24equals the area to the left of 2.24minus the area to the left of -0.88.Standard normal table shows that these latter two areas are 0.9875and 0.1894,respectively. So, the required area is,0.9875-0.1894=0.7981.

03

Part a Step 3. Let us draw a curve which shows the obtained area in it.

04

Part b Step 1. Let us analyze the given values and find the area for it.

The area under the standard normal curve that lies between -2.5and -2equals the area to the left of -2minus the area to the left of -2.5. Standard normal table shows that these latter two areas are 0.0228and 0.0062. So, the required area is,0.0228-0.0062=0.0166.

05

Part b Step 2. Le us draw a curve which shows the obtained area on it.

06

Part c Step 1. Let us analyze the give values and find the area between them.

The area under the standard normal curve that lies between 1.48and 2.72equals the area to the left of 2.72minus the area to the left of 1.48.Standard normal table shows that these latter two areas are 0.9967and 0.9306, respectively. So, the required area is.0.9967-0.9306=0.0661.

07

Part c Step 2. Let us draw a curve which shows the obtained area in it.

08

Part d Step 1. Let us analyze the given values and find the area between them.

The area under the standard normal curve that lies between -5.1and 1equals the area to the left of 1minus the area to the left of -5.1. Standard normal table shows that these latter two areas are0.8413and0.0000,respectively. So, the required area is,0.8413-0.0000=0.8413.

09

Part d Step 2. Let us draw a curve which shows the obtained area in it.

Philosophical and health issues are prompting an increasing number of Taiwanese to switch to a vegetarian lifestyle. In the paper "LDL of Taiwanese Vegetarians Are Less Oxidizable than Those of Omnivores" (Journal of Nutrition, Vol. 130, Pp. 1591-1596), S. Lu et al. compared the daily intake of nutrients by vegetarians and omnivores living in Taiwan. Among the nutrients considered was protein. Too little protein stunts growth and interferes with all bodily functions; too much protein puts a strain on the kidneys, can cause diarrhea and dehydration, and can leach calcium from bones and teeth. The daily protein intakes, in grams, for 51 female vegetarians and 53 female omnivores are provided on the Weiss Stats site. Use the technology of your choice to do the following for each of the two sets of sample data.

a. Obtain a histogram of the data and use it to assess the (approximate) normality of the variable under consideration.

b. Obtain a normal probability plot of the data and use it to assess the (approximate) normality of the variable under consideration.

c. Compare your results in parts (a) and (b).

From the U.S. Census Bureau, in the document International Data Base, we obtained data on the total fertility rates for women in various countries. Those data are presented on the WeissStats site. The total fertility rate gives the average number of children that would be born if all women in a given country lived to the end of their childbearing years and, at each year of age, they experienced the birth rates occurring in the specified year. Use the technology of your choice to decide whether total fertility rates for countries appear to be approximately normally distributed. Explain your answer.

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.

Express the quartiles,Q1,Q2, and Q3, of a normally distributed variable in terms of its mean, μ, and standard deviation, σ.
