Chapter 6: Q. 6.76 (page 269)

Obtain the z-score that has an area0.70 to its right.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The z-score under the usual normal curve with the area 0.70to its right is around-0.52.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The given area is0.70.

02

Explanation 

The given area is 0.70.

The z-score for which the area under the standard normal curve to its right is 0.70will be identical to the z-score for which the area under the standard normal curve to its left is 1-0.70=0.30.

Begin by looking for the 0.30area in the table's body. The item isn't on the table. 0.3015is the nearest area. It will have a z-score of -0.52as a result.

As a result, the z-score under the usual normal curve with the area 0.70to its right is around-0.52, which may be depicted as

Below is a section of the standard normal table that is relevant:

A variable is normally distributed with a mean 68and standard deviation 10. Find the percentage of all possible values of the variable that

a. lie between 73and 80.

h. are at least 75.

c. are at most 90.

Explain in detail what a normal probability plot is and how it is used to assess the normality of a variable.

College-Math Success. Researchers S. Lesik and M. Mitchell explore the difficulty of predicting success in college-level mathematics in the article "The Investigation of Multiple Paths to Success in College-Level Mathematics" (fraternal of Applied Reacuwh in Hreher Eiturarion, Vol. 5. Issue 1. pP, 48-57). One of the variables explored as an indicator of success was the length of time since a college freshman has taken a mathematics course. The article reports that the mean length of time is 0.18 years with a standard deviation of 0.624 years. For college freshmen, let x represent the time, in years, since taking a math course.

A . What percentage of times are at least 0 years?

b. Assuming that x is approximately normally distributed, tose normal curve areas to determine the approximate percentage of times that are at least 0 years.

c. Based on your results from parts (a) and (b), do you think that the length of time since taking a math course for college freshmen is approximately a normally distributed variable? Explain your answer.

How is a normal probability plot used to detect outliers?

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.
