Get started for freeA company manufactures rubber balls. The mean diameter of a ball is with a standard deviation of 0.2 cm. Define the random variable in words. ______________.
About what percent of values lie between the first and second standard deviations from the mean (both sides)?
About what percent of the x values from a normal distribution lie within two standard deviations (left and right) of the mean of that distribution?
Suppose a normal distribution has a mean of six and a standard deviation of 1.5. What is the z-score of x = 5.5?
In China, four-year-olds average three hours a day unsupervised. Most of the unsupervised children live in rural areas, considered safe. Suppose that the standard deviation is hours and the amount of time spent alone is normally distributed. We randomly select one Chinese four-year-old living in a rural area. We are interested in the amount of time the child spends alone per day.
a. In words, define the random variable
b.
c. Find the probability that the child spends less than one hour per day unsupervised. Sketch the graph, and write the probability statement.
d. What percent of children spend over ten hours per day unsupervised?
e. Seventy percent of the children spend at least how long per day unsupervised?
