1. In a survey concerning family life, it is found that the age at first marriage for men is normally distributed with a mean equal to 23.7
years and a standard deviation equal to 3.5 years. Determine the percent of men for whom the age at first marriage is between 20
and 30 years of age. If X represents the age at first marriage for men, draw a normal curve for X and show the shaded area for P
(20 < X < 30) as well as the corresponding area under the standard normal curve.

2. The net worth of senior citizens is normally distributed with mean equal to 2,250,000 and standard deviation equal to P
335,000. What percent of senior citizens have a net worth less than P3000, 000?

3. Find the value for positive number a such that P (-a < Z < a) = 0.95.

4. The divorce rate in a certain country are normally distributed with mean value equal to 4.5 per 1000 people and
standard deviation equal to 1.3 per 1000 people. Find the third quartile for divorce rates by county per 1000people.
Draw graphs to illustrate your solution.

5. In the Manila, 80% of TV-owning homes are using cable channels. Use the normal approximation to the binomial
distribution to find the probability that 425 or more in a sample of 500 TV-owning homes with cable channels.

6. In a certain research study involving personality types and career selections, it is found that the time required to
complete a task is uniformly distributed over the interval from 5.0 to 7.5 minutes.
a. What is the probability that the task is completed in less than 4 minutes?
b. What is the probability that the task is completed in 7.0 or more minutes?
