Determinez0.33

Short Answer

Expert verified

The z-score under the usual normal curve with the area 0.33 to its right is around 0.67.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The given area is0.33.

02

Explanation

The given area is 0.33

The z-score with 0.33the area under the standard normal curve to its right is equal to the z-score with 1-0.33=0.67the area to its left.

Begin by looking for the 0.67area in the table's body. The appropriate z-score will be 0.44.

As a result, the z-score under the usual normal curve with the area 0.33to its right is around 0.44, which may be depicted as

The relevant portion of the standard normal table is shown below

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).

The National Center for Health Statistics publishes information about birth rates (per 1000 population) in the document National Vital Statistics Report. The following table provides a frequency distribution for birth rates during one year for the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

a. Obtain a frequency histogram of these birth-rate data.

b. Based on your histogram, do you think that birth rates for the 50states and the District of Columbia are approximately normally distributed? Explain your answer.

Students in an introductory statistics course at the U.S. Air Force Academy participated in Nabisco's "Chips Ahoy! 1.000 Chips Challenge" by confirming that there were at least 1000 chips in every18-ounce bag of cookies that they examined. As part of their assignment, they concluded that the number of chips per bag is approximately normally distributed. Could the number of chips per bag be exactly normally distributed? Explain your answer. [SOURCE: B. Warner and J. Rutledge, "Checking the Chips Ahoy! Guarantee," Chance, Vol. 12(1). pp. 10-14]
