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.
Elephant Pregnancies. G. Wintemeyer et al. studied demographic data on African elephants living in Kenya in the article "Comparative Demography of an At-risk African Elephant Population (PLOS ONE, Vol. 8. No. 1). Based on this study, we will assume that the time between pregnancies of the African elephant in Kenya, for elephants that have more than one calf, is normally distributed with mean of 4.01 years and a standard deviation of 0.94 years. Determine the percentage of such times that are
a. less than 2 years.
b. between 3 and 5 years.
With which normal distribution is the standard normal curve associated?
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.
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.
