Sample Questions to use when exploring the Normal Distribution with the 3 Worksheets in this Excel Workbook.
1. If a Normal distribution has a mean of 20 and a standard deviation of 5, between what values do you expect 68% of the distribution to lie
what values do you expect 95% of the distribution to lie? Between what values do you expect 99.7% of the distribution to lie?
Enter the values for the mean and standard deviation to see if you are right. Test yourself with different values of the mean and standard de
2. If you know that a set of observations follows a Normal distribution with 99.7% the values lying between 2 and 16, what will the mean b
will be the standard deviation? Take a best guess and enter those values in the spreadsheet. Adjust your mean and standard deviation until y
the appropriate values.
Suppose nearly all the values of a Normal distribution lie between 60 and 120, what will the mean and standard deviation be?
Experiment with the distributions on the spreadsheet until you are confident answering such questions.
3. Use the spreadsheet to model the heights of women, which follow a normal distribution with a mean of 64 inches and a standard deviatio
inches.
a) What percent of women are less than or equal to 66 inches tall?
b) What percent of women are between 60 inches and 62 inches?
c) How tall are women who are in the top 5% of all adult women?
d) Find three different height ranges that contain 60% of all women. (the lower 60%, the middle 60%, and the upper 60%).
4. The lifetime of a 2-volt battery in constant use has a normal distribution with a mean of 516 hours and standard deviation of 20 hours. U
